Hey THR,
Got a noob question about squirrel hunting, never did much of it, didn't think there was enough of the squirrel to really give it a thought. Had a buddy of mine back in the states, said he took a mess of squirrels in one day, and was talkin' about how fun they are to shoot and hunt.
Well, I wanna give it a try as soon as I get back stateside, but I have some restrictions. I mainly hunt on the Fort Hood reservation, and with that I can only use blackpowder rifles or shotguns (can't use regular rifle or air rifle). I would think that if I used a shotgun, there might now be enough left to make getting the squirrel worth my time, so I started looking into muzzleloading, as I already own a knight muzzle loader. I can not find a muzzle loader that fires anything smaller than .50 cal., so I started looking into sabot rounds (have never used them before), and was looking at a light weight round, found these at knight rifles website.

Would these be ok for squirrel hunting? Thanks THR
