CCI CB shorts for squirrel?

[MikeC]

I had been using my Gamo 1000 .177 for squirrels behind the house so not to get neighbors nervous. This has worked nicely. I have an old marlin glenfield model 10 single shot 22 I bought many years ago from a JC Penney that was going out of business ($25.00). I was going to get rid of it a number of times because I don't use it, but decided to try to try it as kind of a 22 pellet gun. I put an extra 4x32 scope on it and bought some CCI CB 22 shorts and some Remington CBee 22 longs.

Sighting it in I was pleased to find it shoots 5 shot groups with both types of ammo that can be covered by a dime (sighted in at 25 yrds using my Nikon range finder).

I suspect the 30 GR Remingtons will take out a squirrel nicely, but I am wondering if the CCI CB shorts will reliably kill them. I hope to get out the crony to see the speed and calculate the energy.

How effective are these CB shorts on squirrels?

Yes CCI CB's will take them out.i know guys that coon hunt with dogs that use CB's to kill the coon in the tree so they will kill squirrels

[S.S.]

excellent for squirrels. if you hit them!
if you don't, those CBs will bounce around amongs the tree limbs for a while.
I too have the Glenfield model 10 that I use them in. I have found
that the CB long and the 60 grain sniper subsonic shoot to about
the same point of aim in that rifle out to about 50 yards.
Just an interesting side note.
