almost always use my mavrick 88 12 gauge for squirrel with mod choke . i always use loads that i have patternd my gun seems to like the remington game loads 2 3/4 #6 game loads . i have used some reloads from a friend also but for some reson i prefer the remys , i just shoot better with them .
maverik, these are the #6 shot that i was using w/ great sucess. the 1oz remington game loads, black hull silver base. like $4 a box of 25 here. everytime someone mentions them, they seem to be infavor of them. i like them a lot, and shoot its twin at the range at clays, their all purpose load which is the same payload (1oz) same fps , but w/ #8 shot. same hull and base. so i think it might also be i'm very used to how that speed/type shell shoots? i dunno, b/c w/ those express long range $$$ ammo, even when i aimed right at a still squirrel i didnt get it, where as the remington game loads dropped them np.
why mess w/ a good thing? first load to try in my soon to be new gun...H&R 12 gauge single shot, is going to be those game loads. whats better is they are cheap to boot!
