i was under the assumption an ar15 would explode something like a rabbit without useable trace?
Nah, it's a small round as rifles go. "High powered military rifle" is a complete misnomer.
The likely issue there is less the size of the round and more the impact of the pressure wave on tissue. Body shots with a standard high-powered rifle round may not leave much useable meat on something the size of a rabbit.
Yeah, if you want meat. Farmers usually want to control rabbits from eating everything else.
5.56 is a waste of money for rabbits though
A small round traveling really fast can do a lot of damage, not a great round for small game - stick to .22 or birdshot.
