    Shot size fer squrrils...?

    #5 is the smallest shot I would use on a squirrel. They tend to pass through the critter with fewer for the gourmet to bite down on.I'd much rather nail them with a .311rb backed with 15 gr of goex...but what ever your medicine is,enjoy.

    Tips for casting please

    Put a bit of tin in your lead. Its a heavey bullet and will bump up to fill the grooves even at bp pressures.The tin will help the lead flow more smoothly into the mould.But thats just my .03 cents.BY the way..I cast the same bullet for my .451 Rigby...
