Squirrels
Maybe our Missouri squirrels are tougher....or just smart enough not to let me get too close. I use either a 16 or 12 gauge, loaded with high brass #4's. When they are up high in the oaks and hickorys, I still only get 4 or 5 pellets to hit.
When I used #6's, I'd find pellets just under the skin that hadn't penetrated well. A .410 wouldn't do the job where I hunt. JERRY

Another option that my father uses. He has an old single stage
MEC loader and a bizillion old paper hulls. He had a machinist make a 2 1/2" shellholder. Then he trims 1/2" off the raggety crimp end and loads little "popper" loads for the young ones. It acually works pretty sweet. He can match anything from heavy 410 to superlight 12 trap. He had to figure a way to put all of those H&R 12ga single shots to use with the new crop of grand kids and neices & nephews.
