I’m not a reloaded at all, but I managed to find this gem on the inter webs. I have no idea how this small of a bullet manages to perform sub-1” groups at 100 yds at nearly 4,000 FPS. Pretty cool none the less.

Lots of information here....

Below is the .12 Squirrel. Evidently there is also a .10 Squirrel

That's tiny! A friend who got me into reloading had a .18 Bee. That was THE loudest damn thing I ever heard! I didn't know that much noise could come out of a bore that small. It was also at or over 4000fps


I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

I get different strokes for different folks but projectiles that small must be DIY or boutique type companies I would imagine?
I don't see any advantage over a .17

Sometimes we do weird stuff because it burns powder and tests us as reloaders. I'll admit to the .25/.44 WTF. .44 mag necked down to .251 .25ACP bullets@1965 fps outta T/C contender. Why? It was there.


Only hits count.

I had a .17 Ackley Bee (I think) that someone had made.
Had the dies and brass with it.
Mounted a Redfield 3x18 scope on it and made some amazing shots on crows and other things.

Sold it 35 plus years ago.

God Bless,

From what I've read barrel life for this round is less than 10 rounds. This one epitomizes the law of diminishing returns...

Probably not. It would turn it into soup.
