[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 538329, member: 10291"] Great review TopPredator! I have had a major problem on myproperty with chipmunks and red sqirrels. Lots of damage and getting in my foundation, chimney, lawns, etc. After my wife wasted $250 on a useless exterminator I decided to control the problem myself and have some fun at it. Over the past three years or more have shot a few hundred chipmunks and about a hundred red squirrels, all with my Savage stainless thumbhole 22 and CB's. I have a 6.5x20 Leupold EF with adj turrets. My target distances is from 20 yards to 55 and I set my scope power to try and replicate a vital area relationship of of a white tail at 15x the distance. 50 yards chipmunk about 800 whitetail. I have had similar accuracy results to yours with the same ammo plus I have used Winchester Match CB Longs as well. Some experiences and thoughts: All three loads have some occasionnal powder variations, you can tell by the report, the Winchesters have the least variation. Impact out to 55 yards is identical between the Winchesters and CBEE's. The CCIs are a few minutes low. The Winchesters in my rifle have a definite accuracy edge over the other two. The Remingtons are the loudest, the others, quieter, and the same. There is a definite advantage in bullet performance with the CBEE's out to about 40 yards. The hollow point does work and result in cleaner one shot kills, especially on the much tougher red squirrels. Unless, you hit the spine or head, the other two will result in a runner. Out past 40 yards, not much difference. I use the Winchesters and past 40 yards, try for a head shot if conditions are good. I zero my scope at 35 yards. +1moa at 40, 2 at 45, and 3.25 at 50. A 10 MPH full value wind needs 2MOA at 50 yards, 1.5 at 35. A 20 degree temp change from 70 degrees gets 2 clicks. If a wood chuck shows up, I come down 3 MOA from zero, slip in a Remington Club Eley and aim for his eye. Last point. I have found if I clean the rifle, it takes 10-20 shots to settle it in. My wife thinks I'm a nut, but the infestation problem is under control. [/QUOTE]
