im going hunting in one week from today...i will sight my gun in...what should i use? i currently shoot 32 grain high velocity mini-mag cci's...thanksBest .22lr rifle load/velocity/grain for squirrel?
I've had great success using American Eagle made by Federal. They are 38 grain copper plated high velocity (1260 fps). They sell for $20-$25 for a brick of 400, 10 boxes of 40. The boxes with plastic insert make them easy to carry too.

The winchester Super X 40 grain hollow point .* The Worlds fastest Long Rifle varmint %26amp; small game round available.* Muzzle velocity is 1,435 feet per second.*.. According to the Winchester Product Ballistics Service Manuel for 2008.*
CCI Stinger Small Game/Varmint Rimfire Ammunition 0050, 22 Long Rifle, Hollow Point, 32 GR, 1640 fps, 50 Rd/bx
No need to try anything different. Those CCI Mini Mags pack plenty of punch to kill those bushy tailed tree rats.





Sometimes those super-duper high velocity cartridges like the CCI Stingers are a bit too hot...and the accuracy suffers.
cabela's sell SSS Sniper subsonic there 60 grain but one of the best i think!
