This is a dumb (yet smart) question but....what caliber of SS Hunter to you take with you into the squirrel woods.....rimfire or big bore?
I only ask this because sometimes I go squirrel hunting with larger calibers. It's amazing how sometimes I don't even tear up small game, with the larger calibers, any more than you do while using a rimfire. I usually don't hunt with an expanding bullet out of a revolver. So, this is probably an important variable when it comes to this sort of thing. Anyway, sorry I wasn't any help with answering your question. However, I had to ask.
