Bullet choice for... Squirrels.

[Buckhead]

My main squirrel rifle is a suppressed Sako Quad. Preferred ammo is Eley SVHP. With that setup, I usually get ~1/2” groups at 50. Plenty good enough for head shots.

Wonderful set-up and great photo.

Remington golden bullet 36grain hollow point by the bucket here. Never have shot a group but out of my customized 10/22 I very seldom miss Eurasian dove or fluffy tails.

CCI stingers are my go to 22LR ammo. Fast and flat.

For pest control the CCI segmented rounds work very well. They have "Segmented Quiet", which are really slow, but they are quiet and hit hard. They also have "Segmented Subsonic", which are very accurate in my tikka. They do a lot of damage and kill quickly. For pest control these would be my choice. Quiet without a suppressor and subsonic with a suppressor if you care about disturbing the peace.

This!

Second this, they work great on jackrabbits. Kill quite a bit faster than a standard lead rn. The only testing I’ve done other than bunnys was a soda can full of water at 50 yards, there was three holes in about a one inch group on the backside, so it seems they come apart as advertised.

Have you had good luck with this? Thanks.

Yes hollow points make a difference. I shoot a lot of cheap shit, but prefer the winchester superX if I'm serious about killing stuff.

None of it will touch an HMR though

.17 HMR Hornady NTX 15.5gr load! Makes taking Ground Squirrels fun precise endeavor! And also makes Rabbits do the Neatest BackFlips when ya headshot 'em!

It works well for me. No issues other than time making them an HP.

That is a very old stand by and one to be cherished. Memories at their best.
