tarheel,

According to my information the R-9 only comes I .177 or .20 caliber’s.  For Squirrels go with the .20 caliber and use a good hunting pellet like the Crow Magnum from Beeman.  You will loose less squirrels using them than either wad-cutter target type, domed or pointed Pellets.  Small groups and tight lines to you.  Lawdog
