As much as I love my rifles most of the squirrel hunting I have access to is better suited to shotguns. I like full choke 20 gauges and #4 shot but 6's work pretty good also. I have gotten to the point where I shoot at the squirrels head with the edge of the pattern if it is within 25 yards and #4 shot does go through most of the time. My model 17 Remington needs a butt stock and hopefully that will be taken care of by September and it will have cooled a bit by then.
