[QUOTE="redgineer, post: 5039586, member: 21602"] I used a Ruger American Rimfire in 22lr last fall. With CCI segmented hollowpoint subsonics, I headshot a squirrel at 70 yards. The bolt action coupled with a suppressor made it so quite that I was able to pick off the whole nest one by one. Just make a clean kill, or the sound of a struggling squirrel will send them into a panic. The CCI segmented hollow points are devastating to small game. While pistol hunting with a Browning Buckmark, I shot a squirrel in the stomach, but the round segmented and exited through the liver, saving me from losing a wounded animal. Too late for this now, but I was able to get 2k rounds of this ammo for a couple of hundred bucks a few years ago. That is the main benefit of hunting small game with 22lr, I have thousands of rounds stored up, and it is quiet and effective with the right ammunition and a well zeroed optic. [/QUOTE]
