Deer season is coming to an end here and its time for me to be hitting the woods for squirrels. I hunt my squirrels with my .22 but am just wanting to shoot my .243 from a barn into a hardwooded hill for practice. All shots would connect with a backstop. Anyone else have some fun with larger calibers? Any rounds that are not to much for a squirrel that I could shoot from a .243?

*Shot a few the other day with it and other then the headshot ones, the one that I hit in the body mangled it. Was a GREAT DEAL of FUN though and was great pratice with my rifle that I wanted to work with anyway before going to alabama for deer season. I was shooting 100 grain core lock soft points which is what I use for deer. Good deal of fun since there isnt prarie dogs or anything else fun to shoot down here in long distances. Just keep in mind as everyone else has stated any centerfire weapon should stay on a grounded target.(also check regs,Some places do not allow centerfire weapons for squirrels!)
