Man,you nevershota squirrel with a .22 Mag?

I have noticed that a 22 Mag does much less damage than a 17 HMR if you are using the TNTs out of the 17. I really wish I could get hold of some of those 20 grain bullets that are supposed to be more for game than varmints. I shot a squirrel in the head with a TNT and it peeled him past his shoulders.

YEP! I was in NC in Oct. and my wife's cousin had just bought a scoped Savage and 500rds of TNT's, WOW!
It surely does some damage on impact.
