I have used them on 4 groundhogs to date...the effect was pretty devastating but all my shots were under 110yds

Just make sure you hit them in the head... unless you like your squirrel served in protein shake form.

If you can find any of the CCI full metal jacket bullets, they are a bit easier on the meat if you slip and hit one a bit farther back than you intend to.

Thats why i want to try the Game Points. They are saposed to expand like a high power rifle bullet and not fragment on impact. If they dont work right ill jsut go back to Winchester Supreme 17 gr V-Max and go for head shots.
