In my constant struggle with squirrels (they have eaten three wiring harnesses
This is driving me crazy as well, but on my Sprinter RV as well as girdling my honey locust shade trees limbs! Slowly killing 40+ year old trees! Can’t use even an air rifle in the middle of the city, so I live trap and snare them. 5 this last month. Rabbits the same 6 this last month. Ugh! The live trapped ones I haul 10 miles away into national forest in hopes they populate enough there to hunt.
Ammo, I purchase a box of several different brands with decent hunting bullets to test with each new rifle. If I find a good one, I’ll purchase 1-200 more. I’ll shoot about half and use that as my initial reloading test bed. This is for big game calibers, ie, 243-375. Of each I probably have 200-500 rounds loaded at any one time.
Small game, substantially more. A good day on a big PD town can easily burn up 500 rounds. So I keep plenty loaded or factory around of 22LR, 22WM, 17 HMR to start out, then move to 222 and 223. Finally furthest using 243 or, now hopefully, 6.5 Creedmoor.
Krish, good luck finding what works for you!
