Ain't nothing to it. The realm of mouse-fart loads is an intriguing study.skb12172 wrote:I'm intrigued, Paw Paw.
Take a cast bullet for .32-20 (.312 diameter, 115 grain, like this). If you buy them they're a dime apiece, but if you cast them from whatever scrap lead you have laying around, they're almost free.
A large primer and two or three grains of Bullseye, Unique, Red Dot, or Promo, and try that out. In any one of the .30 caliber rifles and you've got a dandy squirrel/possum/varmint round. Personally, I like the .30-30 in a single-shot Handi rifle that I have scoped with a 4X rimfire scope. It's illegal to use for squirrels hereabouts, simply because of the way the law is written, but it's dandy for lots of other gunning tasks.
This ain't rocket science. It's mouse-fart loads.
