squirel shot size
#1

just wanted some thoughts on what is the best shot for a 12ga pump shotgun for squirrel. Id use a 410 or something else but other than my rifles, my slug guns, and my muzzleloader and some of my tactical guns, the shotgun is the only one I really can use. So what size shot and ammo should I use for squirell and rabbit.
#6

Squirrels, 7 1/2 if I'm expecting to see fox squirrels, 8 if primarily grays. It kills more by concussion than penetration, kind of like punching one real hard. Doesn't tear up the meat.
For rabbits, I use 6.
Both cases 12 gauge, modified choke.
