Pellet shape and weight for hunting and pest control- some answers

[Big Bad]

Some years back, I was asking myself and people here what the best shape pellet was for a planned massacre of squirrels who had taken over a kindly old widow's back porch, yard, and garden. I never did arrive at an answer but this video from Fieldsports Britain at least supplies one hint, although the man disappointingly does not much discuss calibres other than .177 . Gotta get me some of that terracotta modeling clay.

Like with most ammo, use what shoots the most accurately out of your gun. It doesnt take much to kill a squirrel but you gotta hit it first.
