My First choice for <25lb is CCI SV
>25 lb to 200 lb 4 legs is Aguila 60gr SSS (requires a 9 twist past 35 yds )
Happy hunting,...
Squirrels is why I can’t wait for my 22lr can to clear, hoping for it by summer to deal with the little fuckers.
I should have the perfect vantage on them from my 2nd story and shoot down into my yard when they go on the ground.
My yard is constantly covered in shredded nuts and shit from them.
I am gonna do the same thing........when the wife is not home anyway. Gonna open the window, set up a position about 5 feet back with rifle in my tripod.....and start murdering those little bastards
CCI SV has taken many deer w/correct shot placement, but that size target is better served with the Aguila 60gr SSSDon’t get the CCI quiet that is 720 FPS. Wicked quiet but not powerful enough to down a squirrel. Regular CCI subsonic or Winchester subsonic which runs about 1050fps is still really quiet, about what a BB gun sounds like but powerful enough to down the squirrel.
Bull. The 2 dead squirrels above and 3 dozen others the past couple months begs to differ. One shot and they drop right outta the tree.Don’t get the CCI quiet that is 720 FPS.

Don't shoot em the the butt?Shot 2 today at about 40 yards and it’s didnt kill them. So ?
Cci quiets are plenty quiet without a canView attachment 7028555
Looking at this on a mobile phone. I had to zoom in on the pic...thought you’d photoshopped the face of a rabbit on the second dog!!!View attachment 7028624
These two do a pretty good job herding them for me.
I have one tree left and the squirrel's always think the tree is safer than the fence.
Blammo
I used to launch them out of a laundry basket attached to bungee cords.
For the tough to kill bastards that gorge themselves on my bird food,there's electricity.
I insulated the pole and hooked it on the hot side of 110, around the bottom I used a 1.5 Sq ft piece of expanded grating hooked to the neutral.
I nailed them right in the side behind the shoulder area and the SOB jumped up and ran off. I just started using the quiets when I got my RPR rimfire last week because they would never cycle in my 15-22 and when I went to zero they open right up after about 59 yards. Like someone else said, you can pretty much watch them drop. The CCI silenced is 950fps and they seem to work much better on the squirrels.Don't shoot em the the butt?
All my shots have been standing right under the tree. 40 yards may be different. Never tried that far
He does the same. They run down the fence to safety if I don't let him out. He's does a pretty good job of keeping them treed. He's the best squirrel detection system ever. Hear him barking under the tree I know to grab the 22View attachment 7028624

Yeah I'm not sure if I'd trust these to 40 yards. You can see in those pics both of those I killed were one shot behind the shoulders. Plus I don't really have any safe shots to take at 40 yards where they would be.I nailed them right in the side behind the shoulder area and the SOB jumped up and ran off.

I had a squirrel crawl under a screen door gap between the floor,
he ate my organic bread with nuts and left crumbs all over, then he shit on my couch
Yup. Exactly what I do.
