Mike I was amazed on that shot because it actually pasted that chippers left jowl on the downfall where I shot him
There’s something special about the big “thump” made by a JSB .30 on a ground squirrels head. When you hear the sound you know you didn’t miss. The .30Has a bit of an arc so I keep shots close but close shots are my favorite anyway. You want humane ? .30 for sure. It’s expensive to plink with but that’s what a .177 or .22 can be used for because it’s 500 a tin vs 150. I enjoy my .25, .22, .20 and .177s but there’s nothing like throwing boulders at game:)
Shots like this have convinced me that I really have no need for more than 22 cal for small game, the cast slugs that I shoot from my AEA Challenger are flat out devastating on small game.If it was legal to hunt deer here I'd use my 30 cal but it needs to be 35 cal or larger here in Michigan.
