Hi Iowa 303, I use Winchester HP subs in my .22LR (Anschutz 1416 double set triggers) with moderator. Headshoot them most of the time, I just want to ensure they die right away. The same with Magpies...although I don't bother trying to headshoot them.

I've used very many of them both to train my daughters hawks and feed them..the hawks don't seem to have much taste for maggies though.

@ LesLS Gray squirrels were introduced here from America as I understand it. They're pretty voracious and also carry a disease that if caught by our red squirrels is fatal. We have red squirrels around our cottage in Scotland..so I kill grays on sight if I can.

You never know, one day I may try them over the BBQ.

I often wish it was legal to deal with domestic cats the same way! However, it's not legal, so I remain frustrated!
