Nice shootin Mark, little pesky squirrel wouldn't have made it out alive.

Thanks Randy! No squirrel is safe anymore if they get out of line.
As long as they are not destroying anything, they will be allowed to live.
Heck; putting holes in paper is very rewarding when they go where you want them to.

Dont be scared to buy some smaller quantities of different weights and brands. I have some Norma pellets I havent tried yet and a couple others. One of these days I will get that done.

I might look into some lighter ones and hope for similar accuracy. When shooting yesterday, I was shooting into a pellet trap that I made and designed just like the black metal ones you see. I used 1/2" plywood for the angled back board.
...mistake! It did not fair well. Those H&N FTT pellets blew a hole right through it at 25 yards. I think I'll either buy a metal one, or reinforce the one I made with some sheet metal.
Yes, I do intend to experiment with other pellets, but I didn't hesitate to buy a large tin of the FTT's because I know it does like them. They WILL be used. Uh oh...this could get expensive
. Did I previously mention budget when this all started? What's that!

Ya those 22 cal pellets will go right thru the plywood. I have metal bullet traps mounted on plywood for my shooting in the backyard.

Yup, that's what Im gonna have to do for shooting here. Can't wait to go to the cabin. I don't need them up there. I've got the whole mountain as a berm.

Not much I can add. It didn't take you long to get it dialed in. All fun now. Making me want to get mine out and shoot some.
