22 LR to the head . Or atleast that was the only choice when my grandfather was taking me . I’ve got a greatly changed Ruger 10/22 with a Whistle Pig barrel a enhanced trigger , regrouped headspace , a suppressor and a decent scope . This little rifle shoots Norma TAC 22 LR in very tiny five shot groups at 25 and 50 yards . But if the inclination for a shotgun kicks in I suspect a 28 or 20 with 6’s oughtta be okay .

I've always enjoyed squirrel hunting more than just about anything else. I think it's pretty much died out here though which is unfortunate probably goes for most small game hunting in my area though.
