Now that our deer season is over I sighted my Sav/Pac in with 200gr. xtp at 50 yds. I think it might just work on the rabbits and squirrels. Seems like I can always come up with an excuse to carry this gun around.

I sighted in dead on and beings we are pretty cold right now I didn't lower the powder charge yet.Right now I'm using 35 gr. n110 but I'm figuring to drop to around 30 gr. Sound like a place to start? It will be headshots or nothin.

I guess no matter how light you load, a head shot is the only way to be able to eat 'em. Just wondered what kind of load you would use. Probly still have a load that is WAY more powerful than a .40 S&W! Head shots will be fine! Probably could kill deer pretty good at those levels. Have fun and share your hunts.

Head shots is the way to go, that load will blow the hell out of em. I shoot snowshoe hares at close range with a .22 mag and it blows most of their head off.

Double lung shots work too. You actually get two halves... front and rear....pre-gutted

Im a small caliber nut. I have a bunch of .32 & .36 cal BP shooters. Great squirreling fun with a .32! Those nervous little buggars are hard to get a good head bead on.
