Squirrel time. Co2 and .410!


Recommended Posts

It all started this morning. Squirrels in the back yard!

A perfect opportunity for my morphed pistol.

That got me fired up for a walk with Jess for some more squirrel action but what to take?

Well the .410 ain't been out for a while so that was that.

Jess and I soon found a couple, they were a breeding pair, she was in season and numb nuts was hanging around.

I love 410, every time I take this old Webley out it downs something!

What's the blue cartridge?. I use the Lylvale and Eley and they're both red.

Nobel sport Italia. 1/2oz loads, quite powerful.

I also use fiochhi.

The eley and lylvale seem weak to me. Ok for rats.

I agree about eley fourlongs and two inch “fourten” .  Fourlongs are very quiet but velocity is slow and they don’t have much range. The two inch fourtens, well I can’t understand why they’re only available in #6 shot. At 9 grams the pattern is poor, if they were available in #9 shot, they’d be great for rats close up.

Yes, #7&1/2 or #7 in a 410 every time for me but for some bizarre reason every one stocks #6!

Yeah, use them on rats, magpies and jackdows, about 15 yards, that pester my bird table. I like the Eley Fourlong coz I can shoot them from the window without damaging me eardrums ?
