So is mine, but I find it's a bit of overkill on rodents. Your squirrel season opens early up there.

That's why I shoot em in the head so's not to waste any meat....If you're one of them that likes squirrel brains then you're outta luck.

If you take a couple forty five ninety Cases and reduce the top half inch with a forty four resize die then drop ten grains of unique add a card or leather wad and tap it down with a pencil then fill with shot, add another leather or card wad, and then roll the top with round nose bullet seater and put a drop of elmers on top to aid in holding everything down. You wind up with a really nice squirrel, grouse or partridge load for those instances when you can use one.
By avoiding a traditional wad you lessen the chance of the rifling applying spin to the shot charge, I've broken clays at twenty five yards with mine.
Just FYI, if anyone is interested..............

My Guide gun is mighty accurate What scope do you have mounted on there? I have a set of XS sights that I was planning on sticking with but am thinking of going to a low powered scope instead.

Trijicon, 1.5 to 4x with a red tipped post.. Very fast to get on target

There's also a Ken Waters (I think, might well be Paul Matthiesen) "utility bullet" for subloads. If anybody is interested, I'll see if I can dig up the article. If I remember correctly, it's a short full wadcutter; low recoil, high accuracy at close ranges.

Just shot mine yesterday. Funny how people say it will killyou. Good round can load mild to wild. Light load a kid could shoot Was fun to increase 2 grains at a time to see effect. Wish I had scoped so could see elevation difference.

my Grouse load is 292g cast over 16g of trailboss. bluuup! with no recoil. very accurate. great for head shots and even a shot behind the breast gets you great eating.

When I was around 16 I shot a fox squirrel with my 50cal Charles Daly muzzleloader @ about 30yrds.
