It's 5mm/.20.
Really does the job on squirrel and rabbit, just be patient for a clear head shot.

Yes, aperture, original to the gun I believe.
It was my father in laws.
Works well for me up to 25 yds. with a rest.

Nice shooting. What part of Missouri are you hunting in? -4 this morning so the squirrels are safe.

Same here. It's still just above zero. Hopefully this cold snap will break soon so we can get back out there.

Franklin Co,
Last week Wedneday when it was in the 30''s/40's.
They were super active.
Now they are denned up.

Ammo I'm using was in deceased father in laws stash. Obviously working OK, but
now that I'm hooked I'll experiment with others, though I'm seeing there is not a lot of variety in the .20 cal.
What are some of the best accuracy and
humane killing pellet brands?

In particular, anyone have experience with these slightly heavier loads with a blue streak?

I’ve shot both the 13.73gr and the 15.89gr. They are both very accurate. With that said, I shoot them from a PCP not a pumper. I’m not sure of the power that Sheridan has but I’d imagine the 15.89 is a bit heavy for it.

I am in Pulaski County just down the road. I got a couple this last weekend, 1 nice fox squirrel. I have noticed that there is not a lot of Fox squirrels here in MO, back home in Michigan it is the opposite, a lot of fox and few grey's.

I have all grey and no fox around my house, typical of Ozark hill country, but where I deer hunt in open creek bottom country nearby, it is all fox, no grey, it's habitat specific.

I grew up on the prairie in Missouri and all we had were fox squirrels along the hedge rows and creeks. Down south towards the Lake of the Ozarks it tended to be all greys. Where I live now it is a mix, the greys tend to stay in the timber and the fox are more apt to be out in the open field where there are a few trees.
