Sorry but there is no good load for squirrel's and rabbit's with the 22 magnum. It is too much gun for those critter's. I really like the CCI-CB's for squirrel's-nice and quite. I use regular 22 loads for rabbits, no need for a quite load for rabbits. I do not think they make a sub sonic for 22 magnum's. Tom.

Use whatever bullet shoots the best out of your 22mag, and blow their heads off, I don't know of anyone that eats there heads myself...

any bullet,head shots only and you will become a better marksman,and yes it will blow their heads off,but only the old timers eat squirrel brains since several years ago they started having deseases that could kill you from eating the brains,so blow their heads off and eat the rest,the only thing that has very much meat is the hind legs and back anyway,

The best load for the .22 Magnum for squirrels and rabbits is the Federal 50gr. HP

Why not, you don't eat the heads do you? And just so you know, a 22 mag won't "blow their heads off."

I see you are talking from ALOT of experience since your dads friend has one

Maybe when your older than 13, and have a few years of experience under your belt you can comment again. [8D]
