Sure, that'll work just fine. You might want to aim for head shots when possible, especially on squirrels- you'll lose less meat that way.

In my opinion,unless you take headshots only,you'll just tear up/bloodshot a lot of precious meat. I prefer subsonic hp target ammo for squirrels and hv solid points for running rabbits.
