[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5845108, member: 1409"] Having squirrel hunted a lot with both #6 & # 7 1/2, I now think #5 is overall better, especially where fox squirrels exist. 7 1/2's are the most deadly on young gray squirrels, but may not get the job done on a tough old male squirrel. #5s may be slight overkill on gray squirrels, but not on fox squirrels. Squirrels have a very tough skin, and #6s usually are stopped by the far side skin. #5s are more likely to pass thru both sides, but often don't. You have more risk of biting into a pellet with 7 1/2s. [/QUOTE]
