2024/2025 Squirrel Hunting Thread...........

[ScottK]

CCI#11, and Remington #11 are the only 2 I've used in any of my 32's. Like Duk, I didn't notice any difference. I shoot more CCI, because that's what I have the most of. Looking forward to your range report Scott!

I am too lol. Considering taking a day off work next week to do it!

I use the standard style nipples and haven’t had the first issue. They are metric threads 6-1. TOTW order number is CVA-S.

It is confusing on their listing and the nipples smaller holes are slightly different but they work just as they should. I actually called and spoke to someone at TOTW about this.

That's the same ones I use.

ETipp , shot this evening, 25yrds
With 15 thou and 18 tick patches
As of now, .018 pil tick lubed with
Mink oil patch lube, 3 shots. 2 of 3
Cut holes 3 shot not quite, all three
With in quarter size group. The ,015
Pre cut and lubed considerable difference. As of now I'm sticking with. 18 pil tick patch mink oil lube
Still getting the fill of the rifle, (and I
Have a question guys the patches
Both types are when started cut
The edge of the patch all the way around and the threads go down
The barrel, these are about size of a
Nickel, I'm thinking this could hinder
Accuracy, is thinking correct?
And 3 shot group, with a quarter
Is that good, bad, or ugly??
Chim in guys need the input.

Not sure what you mean about your patches. But if the the edges are frayed that's not necessary bad as long as it's not cut, torn, or burnt threw. If your getting quarter size group that's a head shot on a squirrel, play with your powder charge see if you can tighten it up a bit.

Thanks Duk, I cut these patches nickel size that's 7/8 in. I'm thinking
Maybe a little big, I'm as were conversating recutting down to 3/4
Inch diameter. What I was referring to my patch was going around my
Ball starter then sent the long end
These rifleings are sharp and it cuts
The outside edge of the patch, and
It winds up down the barrel on top
Of my load, question is is it getting in
The rifling and effecting accuracy.

I cut mine at 3/4 seems to work pretty good. Some off the patches you buy are bigger than 3/4 I can't say that it hurts accuracy but I bet it don't help. Some guys cut patches at the barrel and their not all exactly the same size, and it don't seem to affect accuracy.
