"The Dromia Rule"
Deer Stalking… reliable word of mouth recommendation from someone you know has undertaken such stalking being offered by a specific syndicate is best. Like other walks of life, stalking has its scammers. E.G., make sure there is deer, of the species sought, on the land being made available; that appropriate insurance is in place; that there is recourse for recompense if it all goes wrong. In addition, obtain and understand terms and conditions; consider the implications of allowing a syndicate leader to be a FAC mentor; make sure ‘coaches’ are suitably qualified; consider the quality of deer management, the construction & execution of a shooting plan and safety; determine if the land is over-shot.
If in doubt, contact BASC or similar.

Anyone considered to be a scammer will be banned without warning.

Re: Killing Squirrels
I do like the idea of a flintlock ML however a .410 is probably the way to go and I am just idly musing over a silenced .410 with a red dot however that moves away from my beloved Webley somewhat.
I just found a box of 11 gram #6's on the shelf so they will be my starting point and I could always take a second gun and a loader (She would have to be smartly turned out though) :)

Re: Killing Squirrels
I've never had a runner/required a second shot using #6 shot, although it has always been out of a 12b

Re: Killing Squirrels
I would hope a round of well placed #6 from a tightly choked .410 would get the job done, the thing is how many do I need to make a hat.
