![]() ![]() I've got a couple of "nitrogen piston" air rifles (.177 cal. In my process of squirrel control, one rarely get a chance at a follow up shot before the squirrel can crawl away and die from its' wounds as a result, the only reason to really sink the money into a "pre charged pneumatic" is for the fast repeating capability. JTJ, I started my squirrel control action with pellet rifles- some good ones at that. I'm probably going to leave the Ajuila subsonic 60 gr ammo alone and spend the money for more CCI Subsonic 40 gr ammo for which I've had really good results. 22 LR Sniper Subsonic 60-gr ammo or even one box, or should I just take the money and buy more of the CCI Subsonic segmented ammo which I've been pretty satisfied with up to now? I really want is to get an opinion on whether it's worth the money to buy a brick of the Aguila. These rounds are generally purchased on-line at a price which is better that the gun shop that I purchased my first box of 50. However, I've had the best results with CCI Subsonic (0074) 40 gr segmented copper plated hollow point- EVERY squirrel hit has been bagged and sent to the land fill. (0056) 40 gr round nose lead hollow point- again with good results in noise levels and kills and are readily available at a gun shop that I visit on a monthly basis. I currently use Remington Subsonic 38 gr round nose hollow point ammo with good results- both noise and kills, a little too dirty for my taste but I'll continue to use them as long as I have them and no big issue to clean the rifles at shorter intervals. Most shots are within ten yards, but can be out to 25 yards max. 22 rounds are a must to keep the noise down. Since I live within the limits of a city which has an ordinance prohibiting discharge firearms, subsonic. I'm currently engaged in squirrel control around my bird feeders alternating between the use of two rifles, a Ruger 77/22 and Marlin Model 980S- both bolt actions- from an open window. ![]()
