I'm just looking for other squirrel hunters out there who are willing to relate some recipes and tips as well as disclosing their preferred method.
I haven't bagged one of the little buggers since I was about 15, but am looking forward to ridding the world of the little vermin this November.
I will be using a Marlin 880SQ with a 3-9X40 scope. I haven't been to the range yet with it to try out my different types of ammo, but I have picked up the following to try out as soon as this dern hurricane is gone.
1. Federal 712
2. CCI Mini Mag
3. CCI CB
4. RWS subsonic HP
5. Federal 40 gr. copper solids
6. Federal 38 gr. copper HP
7. Federal 31 gr. copper HP HV
8. Winchester lead solids
9. Remington Thunderbolts (these are crap, opened the box and 2 bullets had separated from their case)
10. ELEY target
11. ELEY TENEX (expensive stuff but looks VERY solid)
12. PMC zappers
13. MPB Quickshocks
14. Some stuff a guy gave me in a White box that has 60 gr. on it. it specs out to the proper size but the bullet takes up half the length of the round and has SSS on the box?
Squirrel hunters give me some input, I have also heard that many of these combos work well on stray cats.........
