The greatest time of the year

You may still be able to find lilja barrels for the 452 that's what I have on my 455. With eley subsonic hollowpoints it shoots .3 inch groups all day long. That's at 50 yards
Mine shoots the eley ss hp at about .5-.6inch but it shoots the rws ss hp .3-.4 inch. I shoot both in the woods, currently hunting with the rws since I have more of it. I'd like to get my hands on some more of both tho.

The Winchester 45 grn subsonic hp can be super accurate if you sort your ammo by weight

My 452 also LOVES the American eagle 40 grain SV, it'll shoot 9 of 10 in a tiny ragged hole, but theres always one flyer, I'm assuming weight difference, I never weighed them before hand, I'll have to check into that.

Weight doesn't fix everything but almost all weight anomalies will be fliers
 
I’ve never hunted squirrel, so forgive me if this is a dumb question, but if cooked, will that stuff bother ya? Or is it just kinda gross and that’s why ya wait until it’s colder?
It's gross! You could cut it out or cut it out of your diet by not hunting or discarding the carcass.
 
Gold trigger ready for action. Hopefully this evening.

I love me some squirrels! I fry mine in oil in cast iron pan. Tender and almost fall off the bone. I rarely make a stew anymore. It opens soon here and I can’t wait!
I just checked and PA opens this Saturday. Seems earlier than before. Do you hunt them from the saddle?

So they started the earlier season last year. I have not but I do plan on it this year. I typically walk and tree them.
