Return to “308 for Squirrels?”
If you can find light cast bullets [or cast your own], they can work with the right powder.mlawler wrote:Another idea if you're a reloader would be to use FMJ bullets for 32ACP loaded with appropriate powder. There are low velocity loads listed for 223 with IMR 5744 so you can probably find some for light 308s.
I don't think they do, but there is a company that sells the sabot for loading your own.mlawler wrote:Does Remington still make it's "Accelerator" line of ammo? 22 cal 55gn in plastic sabot. If memory serves, they made 30-06, 308 and 30-30.
I don't know if this would kill them or turn them into a pillar of salt.Pawpaw wrote:[ Image ]
Is this a true story?Jim Beaux wrote:Years ago I met an old man in the Big Thicket.
He didnt use a gun for squirrels but rather "uglied" them to death. He would sit under a tree and when a limb rat showed, he would jump up and make the most hideous and ugly face possible. I was amazed as he got several within a few minutes without a sound other than the agonizing chittering of the dying rodents.
He told me his family had passed this technique down from father to son for generations. I then asked if he had taught his son and he replied he didnt have a son, but rather a daughter. He said though he had taught her, he wouldnt let her use it. I asked him why and he said, "cuz she tears em up too bad!"
