Its a reduced charge. Some good folks on SD sent me some unwanted 308 bullets.

I have some fast powder I can use up on reduced loads for small game.

Several squirrel shot, a couple of crows and a magpie. Bliss.

I dont use a squirrel call but have often called them in by chattering with my mouth.

I find if one is chattering at you chatter back and if often pays dividends

I just wave my nuts at them

There is a joke in the above statement somewhere, it just escapes me for now  though...
