slugs on clays

Changing the direction a little bit.

So what about squirrel hunting with a .22? 'Everyone' seems to think a .22 is a squirrel gun. Do they just shoot at them when they are on the ground? Or if they shoot at squirrels in trees, where does the bullet go if it goes through the squirrel, or misses? I have been wondering/concerned.
 
I read on a goose hunting forum about a guy that let some 10 ga steel shells get wet in December then fired one off the next October at a crossing goose. He said the thing died immediately and had a single, huge hole in its breast so he figures the steel shot rusted into a single mass that keyholed in the air.

This answers the question of 'can you hunt geese with 10ga slugs?'! It does not answer 'should you?' though.
 
I only do it with my shooting buddies when I shoot on 60 acres of property I own in New York State.

I can't come up with a shape that would let me feel safe shooting slugs into the air on 60 acres. If you get thin enough to make it long enough you won't have much leeway angle wise.
I am thinking of the hornady rifled slugs and their trajectory because that is what I shoot, but even the lighter loads.
