When we aren't dodging the floodwaters we are squirrel hunting fanatics in central and eastern NC. When I use a 22 rifle to hunt with (only in rainy weather) I use short hollow points. The rest of the time my brother and I use 32 and 36 caliber muzzleloaders. This has to be my favorite way to hunt period. Before we got our small caliber rifles we just used a round ball over fifty grains of blackpowder in fifty caliber rifles and did just fine. Its a whole different game though, no running shots and never aiming at anything but the head. Try it!
