Mo, I have shot a couple squirrels with x full and #5 turkey loads while fall turkey hunting, that teaches them to not give me up to the birds. However I have shot a lot of coyotes foxes and bobcats with #2 and BB #' loads with startling effects(to the critters, not me). Best bet is with a rifle sighted smooth bore slug barrel, that you have patterned and sighted in. Probably a very good idea to aim at the head while the rest of the squirrel is behind a tree. I see no problems safety wise using lead shot of any size thru x full though you will at some point lose pattern instead of gain.

Have used a xfull turkey choke in my 870 20 ga with great results - specially after the leaves fall. It will really reach out, but the close shots can be ruinous to the meat. I have found the the 4s push hair and hide into the meat also...I stay with 5s or 6s. Jim
