.32 cal. prb over 20 gr. of FFF. Makes a neat little hole and smells good too. ;-)

.22 Long Rifle Hollow Point fired from a Winchester Model 69.

100 yd head shoots, with a Cooper 22 LR, MTV.

.270 with 110 grain bullets.

Robert Ruark would be proud:cheers:

How do you find fault with a man who uses a 10 gauge for squirrels?! Charlie, you rate up there with my friend who uses his 8 gauge for dove and pheasant.

As a fan of Robert Ruark I'll say 400 gr solids from a custom made 416 Taylor. In reality I much prefer the 40gr .22LRHP from my Kimber Super America or a little tricked out Ruger 10/22.

theodore i too use the 8 ga on squirls byt if you if your sneaking thru the woods that old 8 gets mighty heavy...now i know why you fellas use them bear rifles for squirls you cleanim and guttem with one shot..gotta get me a bear rifle for squirls too... charlie

.270s --- .416s --- 10 gauges --- 8 gauges where has the sportsmanship of our youth gone? No I'll answer that it's gone with our strong bodies, keen eyesight and steady hands of our youth.
