Small Game, Predator and TrappingFrom shooting squirrels in your backyard to calling coyotes in Arizona. This forum now contains trapping information..
Looking to purchase some more ammo for my .22 rifle, and plan on hunting squirrel. Currently using .22 mini-mag LR CCI. Just curious about what everyone considers to be the best ammo they use for squirrel, and if so inclined, why you prefer one ammo over another.
I use federal bullets. Any of them will do a great job with head shots. What ever is the most accurate in your gun is the best to use. Heres 5 federal gold medal match bullets from various yardages in my back yard in about 10 minutes.
all i use is federal lightning .22. they do not have a jacket on them. just a lead bullet. the bullet is alot like match rounds and really shots well in most guns. for a squirrel a head or body shot works just fine. they are .99 cents a box at wal-mart. anything more that is just wasting your money.
