Indeed I can speak from experience on the .22Mag. It messes squirrels up bad. I traded mine for a 10/22 if that tells you anything. .22LR is perfect. I like to squirrel hunt from my deer stands. That way I'm shooting down instead of up into a tree. Shotgunning squirrels is no problem either. You may have to pick shot out. It may pass right through and lay up under the hide and fall out on it's own. Either .22LR or shotgun. I took many a squirrel with a .410 back in the day.
