Many moons ago as a kid I shot and crippled many squirrels, rabbits too, with a .410. I quickly found out that it didn’t have enough killing power for long shots in tall trees or shot pattern for running rabbits. I saved my nickels and dimes and bought a single shot 20 gauge. My kill ratio suddenly improved.
While I still used a .22 with a fair amount of success, it was also cheaper to feed, but the 20 gauge was a sure thing. Loaded with high brass number 6’s it put meat on the table.
Nothing wrong with a 12 gauge either, more dense shot pattern.
