What did you use?
Was a few years ago taken out in the extreme Nor-cal Alfalfa fields. It is a BELDING ground squirrel ... FWIW ;)
At the time i was shooting side by side or long shots / short shots having the JSAR Raptor in .22 cal shooting X pointed HP NSA 20.2's @ 1060 fps OR it was a shot with the .17 HMR ?
I do recall shot was very close being inside 20 yards, squirrel came out of burrow facing away from me, so was a hit in the back spine going out chest. When It happened I just recall telling myself to take a look at it once up and moving around again.
This is how it was found laying ... not a posed picture ;)

Fantastic! Given the size of that cavity, i'm gonna go say that was shot with the 17hmr 😂. I love it, and I love mine! As well as the 17wsm, they give me hope that one day we'll see 50-60fpe .177 slug rifles with the proper twist rate!
