Had fun shooting this gun.3 shot dime size groups some were cutting the same hole at 25 yds.using cci maxi-mag (JHP) 40 gr. Plan on head shooting squirrels so decided to buy and shoot some cci v-max Polymer tips 30 gr at 25 yds to get those 3 shot dime size groups will the 30 gr cci be better for squirrels.Don't eat the heads so not worried about blowing it up lol.
Not wanting to shoot at squirrels more than 25 yds to start,never used .22 for squirrels have only used 410,20 and 12 gauge.
I’ve put many a squirrel in the bag with CCI Maxi-mags, and they seem to shoot well out of everything I’ve tried. Heck, I’d punch their lights out at 50-75 yards regularly with my Savage bolt gun. We would have competitions to see who could make the longest head shot with a .22 mag. The poly tips didn’t shoot as well as the Maxi-mags out of my rifle, so I stuck with what worked.

Sniper hunting squirrel is hard to beat. Usually take the 93 Savage 22mag or the a17.
