[bubba15301]

.32 cal .310 rb 40 grains pyrodex pistol

 

[wattlebuster]

Im using 30 grns of fffg in my 40 cal :grin:

 

[david50]

25gr's of fff in the .32 and 30gr's of fff in the .40

 

[gizamo]

12-15 measure of fffG in my .32

Much more, damages the meat....even in a under the chin shot.

 

[Rev_William]

I use 15-30 grs fff under a 45 gr prb depending on distance and if I think I'll run into anything bigger while I'm out. Like it was stated much more makes a mess of the meat.

Sitting here trying to remember whatt my custom measure throws for my .36....without checking I think its about 34 gr of 3F. It put 4 squirrels in the pot this year the only time I used it. :thumbsup:

My .20 smoothie uses 78gr of Kik 3F from its custom measure and 1 1/4 oz of 6's to do the trick and put a couple in the pot. :thumbsup:

70 grains of 3Fg, and 7/8 ounce of #5.

I used 40gr of FFFg when I had a .36. I've got the .45 now, so I'm not sure what I'm using yet.

 

[Tumblernotch]

When I used my .40 I loaded with 50 grs. of fffg. Needed to get head shots all the time. In my .32 I use 15 grs. of fffg. Still better to get a head shot because this load will still tear up some meat. But at least not as bad as the .40.

PS:
Of the few squirrels I've cleaned / fried...as far as I'm concerned...the hindquarters are the only thing worth bothering with in terms of having the most worthwhile amount of meat.
I've taken some head shots, missed some and hit some...but for the most part I put the ball through the front shoulders and discard all the front anyway.
Now with a .28ga I'll be going after them with #5 shot.
