The gray squirrels never stay still enough for me to get a shot with my .22. My old eyes need a shotgun.
57 years ago I graduated from a 410 single shot to a 12ga semiauto. For 20 years that was my my only gun, then deer became abundant around here and squirrel hunting became a thing of the past. Now at near 70, I've hung up the rifle and gone back to my first love.
Winchester makes a load perfect for my old Winchester mdl 50. Barrel is marked mod but with their small game/upland load it shoots a tight full choke. Load is 1220fps, with 1 1/4 ounces of #5's. Product # is X12P5.
You shotgunners, give'em a try.
