OberFeldwebel Fresnel Barru I shot a squirrel straight through the heart with my .22. It was running up a branch going from tree to tree, I had a bead on it, followed and when it stopped. Blammo. It went backwards and dropped off the tree falling about 50 or so feet, never even twitched. Insta-kill. I looked at it and there were blood spurts or droplets on the leaves in a near straight angle from where I shot it. Excellent display of marksmanship if I do say so myself... I'm impressed. Usually nothing short of decapitating a rodent will make it stop. I've seriously shot them in the head and they run away, think about it, then drop dead. Wow, they're that hardy? damn. I've shot one in the gut before, didn't try to I just jerked a bit when making the shot. It rolled over, skittered a bit and then died. Perhaps it's you that has radioactive super squirrels. It was rodents in general. Woodchucks, mostly. God-DAMN those ******** are hardy. My mom managed to corner one with the baseball bat and had to bash its head in... it was just shrugging off the blows. Another time my dad emptied two mags of .22 into a woodchuck and it was crawling away, dragging its intestines behind it. Every time I'd shoot a squirrel it'd run like hell and then think about it for a minute before it realized that yes indeed, it's dead, and flop over.

Ever try a .204 Ruger?

My brother shot this monster toad in the back about 6 or 7 times with this Co2 BB gun, damn thing still managed to hop away under the propane tank for the house.
I think it's time you step up the caliber. Get a .22 Magnum or .17 HMR. I suggest the .22 Mag, better flight, longer range. Well, relatively speaking that is.

I've honestly never had a problem with the .22LR taking out small rodents, even those b*****d jack rabbits that never seem to want to die. Then again, I use hyper-velocity hollow points almost religiously (the ones made by Aguila).

This was back in Massachusetts. Nowadays I use .177 to decent effect. If I could ever get around to sighting the thing in, I might do better.

Well, there yah go. I use Thunderbolts mostly, I don't think they're hollowpoint but I have used hollowpoint, which I think is the round I used to shoot that other squirrel, the one on the ground.

I'd say 7.62x54mmR would be the best SHTF rifle caliber. It's cheap as hell, the Mosin you shoot it with is tough as nails, and it's powerful enough to protect you from anything. Live in Alaska? Bears are no match for you. Moose will provide you with a week's worth of food. Deer will provide you with wonderful jerky during the winter months. (Of course, most people don't live in Alaska, but I'm just pointing out how great it is to defend yourself from ANY threat.)
If you've got wolverines, wolves, coyotes, etc., then the mere sound and giant ******** fireball will scare them away. Also, your gun doubles as a spear. The only animals too small for your Mosin to take down can be trapped. Except for birds. (Its one weakness.)
And since 7.62x54mmR is cheap as hell, you can afford to shoot it when you want, and have some stored for the off chance that SHTF.
And when it comes to being able to carry more .223/5.56...
You're really ******** if 300 rounds of x54 can't fix whatever predicament you're in.
But that's fine, because you should be able to carry 600 rounds of x54. xp
