For many years I've thought about making rifle using the mini mark x action. These come chambered for the 223/ 5.56 cart.
While looking at that action I had the idea that a 25 caliber cast slug on the 223/5.56 would make the ultimate squirrel gun. With a bit of tinkering this combo could be almost bench rest accurate.
A 80 to 100 grain bullet out of a good hard alloy would be pure death on squirrels. May even be accurate enough for some of the Cast Bullet Assoc. matchs.
Any thoughts and suggestions.
