"Tree rat head shot black hole of gravity death machine"
Short version.... Lol!!! Ocd as fugg about certain schitt. Tree rat hunting head shots is one of em Learn your hold over and under from 10 yds out to 75yds. Do your range work.
Savage MKII bull barrel w/ sightron SI 3-9×40 scope Hollow butt stock filled with 1 pd sinkers stuffed with wally world bags, balance carrying and weight for bench group shooting stabilty. Limbsaver pad for longer lenght of pull issue only/ better gawt damm fit.
Shooting velocitors weight sorted shooting the 51.8 gr ones Get about 30 35 of em outta a box of 50 Get a brick at least Make sure your lot#s match Some lot#,s are more accurate Buy couple boxes of different lots #,s Shoot em Buy up the most accurate lot #
51.4 to 52.1 is the weight range for box of 50.
CCI makes good ammo. Weighing out blazer will blow your mind also.
Dont beleive the hype about rimfire gauging .22 rounds Every quarter turn will give you a different measurement based on rim thickness and the collet riding around a uneven ogive
Long bearing surface area and consistent weight rules. Reason why you get nice 10 shot groups at 50 yds with flyers that blow your group out of the 6 7 or 8 that go into 1 ragged hole. Is rounds off the 51.8 weight. Cci blazer Cci small game bullet Mini mags
You can weigh these out on a digital scale and find the weight That will give you 30 35 of em all exactly the same.
Take a magic marker put a dot in middle of plate. Weigh each round exactly their each Dont jar your plate dropping a round that last little tiny distance Weights go up from low side to 51.8 Weights go down from high side to 51.8 Let em settle at 51.8 for 2 to 3 seconds Make a quick cat like snatch and grab up with the round Anything not in your majority weight group
Plinking ammo Not zeroing ammo Recal your scale every 15 to 20 rds.
If ya dont wanna do all this schitt Go buy 15 to 20 + bucks a box high end .22 ammo. And then pissed off about flyers still. But not as many times.....
Man I'd like to squirrel hunt with you, Rene. But, I prefer to back up against an oak, look for a moccasin curled up between the roots in early season and have a 12-15 min sit.
If I see something swinging the leaves a hundred yards way through the canopy I still sit and give any nearby a chance to die.
If nothing shows I try to neak toward it and neak up to a vertical trunk to take a rest for my Win 63 or Browning auto 22.
Early in the season before some leaves fall and if I hunt in the river bottoms with cat squirrels I go with a Benelli 20 with cheap low brass dove load 6s with the IM choke, as they rarely slow down in an open spot not covered by leaves to give a shot.
Do you have mostly greys of Fox squirrels? Man, I love young squirrels fried or older in rice, like rice and chicken, or pressure cooked a bit and the meat put in cornbread dressing.
Do you ever hunt them early in the season while they are still feeding on pine cone seeds. You sneak along watching for pine cone petals floating down and reflecting a bit of yellow from the morning sun.
You sneak in under it because there's too much veggies between you and it to get a shot. You get straight under the falling cone petals and looking up can only see a bit of fur each side of the branch above it is sitting on. A fine and pleasant misery.
Just about everything you mention is what I do also to kill tree rats
Little fugg,s eat 15 20 acorns a day Bury twice as many Less on the ground for the deer when ya think about x how many tree rats in an area.
Rail road track hunting Large open areas they cant cross or jump Sit around places where trees make a bridge across the tracks
My trophy Fox squirrel....
Only one I have kept since a kid. Painting was done by me at age 6 I know you can see the raw talent in it....lol!!!@fuggallthe#things.com
That squirrel tail has shrunk alot in width and i cut off about 1.5" to tack it on the frame. They get about 3 to 5pds around here easy. No I dont eat em either. Even though I have twice before in my life. Once at a guys grannys house to be polite. Other time at slumlords church game supper thing. I had to pray their also. Tree rats are Srebrencia ethnic cleansing ops to me And ...... Doggy and yote snacks.
Hitting the sack... Going turkey hunting in the morning.
