Squirrel Hunting
what type of .12 Gage loads should i use for squirrel hunting?
should i use regular game loads in my .12G?
or should i use bird or buck shot?
its my first time using it for squirrels, i dont want to blow a huge hole in it…lol.
In a 12 guage I would recommend a #4 or #5 lead shot, 2 3/4 inch shell, low brass is all you’ll need. Winchester makes a X124 that should work well.
The reason you want a larger pellet is for energy, to penetrate the hide of a fox squirrel, which is very tough.
But I might add, in early season when there is a lot more leaves on the trees, you may want to shoot a #6 shot size. This gives you a lot more pellets than a #4 and is sufficient for taking squirrels. As the leaves come down, you can go to a larger pellet size, #4 for instance and efficiently bring the squirrel down.
I am the ammo man, and work the ammo counter at a large sporting goods store in Mich.
