22 short. If I used LR and shot into a nest the squirrel ran into, the LR would go all the way through the nest and the squirrel and they sometimes died in the nest. A short always routed them out.
I used to kill them by the bucket with a 22 growing up. I got a 17 HMR when I was 19-20, and it’s way more fun on small game. 17 HMR is awesome, but 17 WSM is a little more fun. Unfortunately rifle selections in the WSM suck, so the HMR it is.
