I've also used a empty .45 colt case full of ffg in my .50 t/c Hawken under a prb as a squirrel load. Worked good. Tried barking a squirrel with a load of 90 grains of ffg under a prb. Squirrel looked like a oak hand grenade exploded under him. watch yer top knot

LuieB,
Here's an old pic from last year. Head shots shouldnt be a problem, if you know your rifle. In the west, at elevation, the squirrels are rather small. you can body shoot them and just take the hind legs, where all the meat is -- no gutting, quick and easy meat gathering. But if they be bigger, and meatier, then do this:
65 gr.3F, .440 RB at about 30 yds.
:v
Nice looking rifle wish I had one.
