.223 69gr SMK vs Ground squirrel !

LOL you should see what a 30 cal 168AMAX does to them - red mist and body parts

I saw a friend shoot one with a 17HMR and it was gross!
am sure the 168 made a nice mess!

The key is the AMAX bullet - unlike SMKs which pass right on through AMAXs tend to be a little explosive . . . . red mist and body parts

Yeah I know my next batch is going to be 40grVmax loaded to the MAX!!

I tested this load on soda cans

smk's are not known for consistent expansion, fwiw. strictly built for accuracy. sometimes they will come right apart and destroy, but sometimes they just pass right on through. i think sierra tries to discourage match kings in the big game world in their literature, because of this inconsistent performance. still, it should kill squirrels no problem, but you wont get an air show consistently.

wish i was out doing pest control...

My 17HMR with a 17 gr poly tip V-Max does the same damage if not worse out to about 150 yards. Beyond that and I have a hard time getting my dope right.

[Shoot-it]

If you want carnage use a Vmax or ballistic tip bullet.I like the Vmax it will also drop coyotes and not pass threw drops all it's energy in side target.Vmax bullet will fragment.

I decaped this squirrel with a vmax from a 223.

Yeah where I shot them there was none 5 years ago! now they are everywhere!!! and they were coming right at me!!

They reproduce at a rapid rate, so if there is a temporary surge in food for the critters, you can find yourself up to your chin in them. Maybe there was more rain this year than usual which means more seeds and acorns for the little buggers to munch. Good luck eradicating them, they can descimate an orchard in a matter of days.

man those are some giant squirrels in your video. I know people who owns dogs that size (including myself )

[CitaDeL]

So...

do you eat what you shoot?

Gross! I feed what I shoot to the local coyotes then shoot them and feed them to everything else, see at the end it all works out! NO waste!

Which in turn feed that ever elusive "California Condor"..

If you want to have some fun with ground squirrels, don't ever go down range and pick up or look at the squirrels you have killed. If you let them lay others will come out to prey on the dead carcass. Dead ground squirrels attract other ground squirrels.

I have had as many as 15 of them laying on top of each other dead. That's no BS!
