Default Can I use 36 Grain Hollow Point on Small Game?

Is 36 grain hollow point suitable for small game hunting (squirrel and rabbit)?

Thanks.

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.
