Has anybody found a 45 caliber prb load for squirrel that they are really satisfied with?
I have shot a few with mine, but it has been too destructive to suit me. I know, I know....shoot them in the head. Maybe years ago, but, not now. I realize alot of fellers on these forums NEVER pull a shot through the shoulders and such, but, I sure do.
So, has anybody come up with a load light enough to leave some squirrel behind after a non-head shot?
Thanks for your thoughts, Skychief.
PS, I am not into "barking" squirrels either. One reason, most that I see are not on a big limb or hugging the trunk too often.
PPS, I recently bought a .45 with buckhorn sights. I plan to experiment with raising the blade front to or near the ears with light charges for a squirrel load.
