I carry a .22 Ruger pistol with me while hunting squirrel with the White shotgun in case of a close shot or to finish up a shot that sometimes a long shotgun shot won't completely kill.

I was walking in a woods one morning when a gray squirrel came up a hickory tree about 15 feet to me and sat on a limb. I got the pistol, loaded with roundnose ammo, took the shot an he dropped, then ran off like he wasn't even hit!!

So I wait a few minutes then start walking further an a gray squirrel comes down a oak tree just within shotgun range and I shoot him and he drops right there.

When I picked him up there was a nice round .22 hole in his chest. I still don't know how he got that far...
