Can you explain what a 17 squirrel is
Thank you, this is excellent
Beautiful rifle and another very classy field pic. Nicely done.
I really wanted a 14 squirrelIm in the process of building me a 22 squirrel next!
Hillbilly, I too have the 22 squirrel with a 12 tw for cast bullets. I'm at a lost , what is the 22 Fox Squirrel? Is it like the 22 Mink?Ive had a 22 Squirrel and a 22 Fox Squirrel cartridge in the past and really want another nice 22 Squirrel!

Good looking case design. I've got the 17 and 20 Mink but never did the 22 Mink although I have the reamer. I have Squirrel and Mink head space gauges so I can use the same reamers for both cases. I promised myself no wildcats but my new CZ Hornet action I have put back is starting to talk to me.View attachment 1670395
22 hornet, Hornet cut down, 22 Fox Squirrel fireformed and loaded 22 Fox Squirrel!
My good Friend thats no longer with us Mr. Howard Farris came up with the 22 Fox Squirrel cartridge.
My load was 9.4 gr of Ramshot Enforcer with 40 gr bullet at 2850 fps
Hornady did mine, back when Lonnie was there. Not sure if this is legal to say but around 1 Aug there will be a Neil Jones forming and sizing die set for the17 Squirrel at Redding Auction Site. Delete this if wrong to postYou guys that have the 17 squirrels were did you source your FL sizing die?
Any chance you'd rent or sell that 22 mink reamer @rayh ?Good looking case design. I've got the 17 and 20 Mink but never did the 22 Mink although I have the reamer.

With 7.4 grains in each round a one pound can of powder provides me with lots of shooting and enjoyment!
