I moved around some optics and took some .22s out today to get one or more ready for squirrel sniping. I was hoping I could use one ammo for multiple guns. THAT won't be happening. NOTHING shot Stingers minute of squirrel head. And other than some old bulk stuff it was all I brought. Best shooting setup was the cheapest gun I own and the cheapest bulk ammo (that's at least 30 years old and I'm almost out of). Figures. VERY aggravating!

Try those CCI Segmented Subsonic I mentioned. I have found they were very accurate in several rifles and the way they segment makes them squirrel death. Turns them off like a switch with either head or heart/lung shots.

I just can't see hunting with something that slow but I hear you.
I have to find ONE round that maximizes energy for coyotes off the deck but I'll be happy with anything else for squirrels etc as long as it's ACCURATE. Today was a disaster.
Have you ever tried these? http://www.cci-ammunition.com/products/detail.aspx?use=2&loadNo=0058

If you have a rifle that will group them they hammer squirrels. Lasered one at 64 yards 2 years back and just about decapitated him. If you take a shoulder/lung shot it makes a mess. Until the leaves fall Sub Sonic HP ammo from CCI or Eley is the way to go for limb chickens. Hope to post pics tomorrow.

Found a couple boxes and tried them in the 10/22 today. MOSH (minute of squirrel head) achieved.
