Ground Squirrel Connection .25 cal vs .30 cal

This is a video about hunting ground squirrels. I am shooting high powered PCP air rifles in both .25 and .30 caliber. These animals are being removed from farms at the request of the farm owners.

[@toemag]

Both of em seem to work great, your commentary is legendary, no messing. you do some great shots at all of the ranges near and far. The projectile wobble during flight was good to see, as most people don't ever get to see that, and a lot of people just never clean their barrels believing that the fouling in the barrel improves accuracy rather than cause problems. Keep these videos coming, they are educational, and for new shooters who don't have a you tube channel invaluable teaching aids..

[@HunterOne_Productions]

toemag Great points made Toemag. I have found that video review is priceless. I appreciate your support and will do my best to keep the videos coming. Thanks

[@robertsaberniak007]

I clean my barrels once every 100 shots or so... it keeps them accurate... i don't care what anyone thinks.

[@airgunaddicts8657]

Ground squirrel in the corner pocket ! Hilarious!! Nice video !

[@HunterOne_Productions]

Air Gun Addicts Glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching.

[@Monkeydad1969]

What everyone is neglecting to say is, DAMN---BACK OF THE FACE IS WHERE IT'S AT! Nice shooting TD, and thanks for the shout out. Hey people, I saw the pic of the aftermath on that shot, DAMN!

[@HunterOne_Productions]

Monkeydad1969 Thanks Joe. Face Off!

[@mike48632]

Great shooting ! I just received my first pcp a Hatsan Flashpup in .25 and can not wait to do some squirrel haunting but also pest and small game with occasional target shooting , I was amazed at the difference from the .177 to the .22 to the .25 not just size BUT the impact difference on squirrels just unreal .

[@denisse163]

Amazing shots as always, I love when you use hollow points. I appreciate that you cast them yourself, shows true dedication. Your my favorite KZbin hunter.

[@HunterOne_Productions]

mike perez Thanks for watching the video and for your support.

[@SOCALEXTREMEAIRGUNHUNTER]

Damn man! Looks like you ran into a colony of dance troop additions for a break dance convention 🤡 smacking Cali style👍🏽

[@HunterOne_Productions]

SOCAL EXTREME AIRGUN HUNTER Lol

[@HunterOne_Productions]

SOCAL EXTREME AIRGUN HUNTER Thanks Nap. They were doing a bit of dancing.

[@philsyndimcguirk420]

Great video. I thought I had my mind made up by choosing the. 25 caliber but know I'm right back where I started with a whole new caliber the .30 to consider.

[@HunterOne_Productions]

Go for it!

[@crosshairzncritterz7900]

Man that was freaking awesome buddy you hit Mr. Drammatic so hard he came back to life!!! Great job as usual Buddy,never disappointed! 👍😎

[@HunterOne_Productions]

Crosshairz’ n Critterz’ Thanks CnC. Thanks for watching.

[@crosshairzncritterz7900]

Hunter One Dude that Sumatra shooting those slugs is absolutely devastating in .25 bro!

[@tywilson8713]

GREAT video again, total destruction with both guns. That impact at 9:13, DAMN!! He should have been on the lookout for that truck.

[@HunterOne_Productions]

Ty Wilson Lol. Thanks for watching Ty.

[@BullseyeBob]

EPIC footage!!! I've always wanted a 30 call!!! Your shots were surgical.....dang!!

[@HunterOne_Productions]

AirGunner Bob_O Thanks AGB. Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@JoseContreras-nz8om]

😂😂😂😂 my grandma will do as good or better than you with the set up you're using....

[@greedygringoprospecting6941]

get a daystate wolverine .303 100 ft/lbs

[@trshuster]

"Ground squirrel in the corner pocket". Great shooting!

[@HunterOne_Productions]

trshuster Lol, thought it was catchy. Thanks for watching friend.

[@mja9700]

Squirrel at 4:00 5:15 and 10:39 falls rolling down was excellent award winning getting shot “acting” 😂😂

[@cschofield850]

Very nice video great shooting and funny commentary

[@HunterOne_Productions]

Team Schofield Thanks Mr. Curtis. Hopefully those ground hogs are falling????

[@Tofazfou]

Another Classic H1! I LOVE ME SOME SLOW MO FOOTAGE! It makes both calibers look equally devastating. For me, either gun would do. Just keep doing what you doing and keep using what your using. I'll be staying "tuned" regardless. Tofazfou was here!

[@HunterOne_Productions]

Tofazfou Appreciate the support Ced. Thanks for watching.

[@infomutt2339]

The .25cal..... Good Video H1. The shot placement is outstanding.

[@HunterOne_Productions]

INFO MUTT Thank you IM.

[@donbedner6482]

Nice production: music not loud, voice is clear, good slow-motion replay.

[@HunterOne_Productions]

Don Bedner Thank you for noticing Don. I’m testing out a new microphone. Your support is greatly appreciated.

[@tucobenedicto1780]

That shooting reminds me of Training Day where Lonzo says "I'm surgical with this bitch!"

[@denisse163]

Good shit as always please more 30. Cal hollow point cast slugs vids I love that sound of the smack great work as always

[@HunterOne_Productions]

Copy that. I am currently working on perfecting the .30 cal cast slug. Stay tuned. Thanks for watching.

[@Gunner-ll1zd]

Wow great power and accuracy. 30 cal!

[@HunterOne_Productions]

Matthew K Thank you MK.

[@thomaspauld]

AS I only own a .177 either of those rifles are very appealing

[@anthonyvonderhaar4164]

Why did u get .177?

[@sirlancelot836]

I like these pest control videos the best. Initial shot, slo-mo , on to the next. Some guys seem fascinated by the death throws. Yeah, it's going to flop around for a couple more seconds , but the things dead - next !

[@taurbaby]

Shooting so good,the squirrels are still looking surprized in squirrel heaven! This video makes me want to trade in a few things towards an fx impact...so i can experiment with different calibers!

[@HunterOne_Productions]

taurbaby Lol, Thanks TB. Looking forward to hearing about the Impact when you get it.

[@taurbaby]

@@HunterOne_Productions i wound up getting two .30 cals for the new years!...an fx boss and a w.a.r flex!! Thank you Hunter One for inspiring me to up my game!!! Now i gotta ask, with these calibers does one even bother with optics that focus down to 10 yards or would a scope that starts at 25 yards and up be a better choice?

[@austinromeo1508]

great video great shots

[@666lawnmower]

Between the commentary and shot placement, fantastic vid! Had to put my drink down a few times, almost sprayed it XD

[@romeoalphafoxtrot9517]

Awesome video Man! I would say the Sumatra with those 55gr HP slugs. Those slugs are 100% devastating on those critters. You have the best scope cam footage out there.

[@HunterOne_Productions]

Robert Funk Thanks Robert. The Sumatra is definitely a force to be reckoned with. It’s a great rifle.

[@joelfernandez2333]

Lights out... good shot.

[@HunterOne_Productions]

Joel Fernandez Thank you Joel.

[@jefferyjg07]

Amazing Shooting!

[@HunterOne_Productions]

Thank you.

[@biagiocozza2933]

Great video, nice shooting

[@HunterOne_Productions]

Thank you for watching.

[@EarthSurferUSA]

You did a vid a couple of years ago comparing a .22 to a .25 using H&N barracuda pellets. Here is an interesting test that people will love with those guns. Gas up each gun to make the same amount of energy measured, (35 fpe would be a good spot IMO), and calculated with a crony at 1 yard. Then shoot them through the crony at 50 yards, and I think people will be amazed to see how a heavier pellet retains so much more energy and speed down field. I saw a similar test, but the guy used to different brand pellets with different shapes. It showed a huge difference in energy at 25 yards, but the pellet choice made the test flawed.

[@smittyb9418]

Hunter one...that 2nd to last squirrel you shot look like a ballerina dancer...Lol

[@OldJoe212]

When you show up, the dinner bell rings for the foxes and coyotes. Good shooting.

[@whackinstackin3149]

I bought a 25.cal hatsan bullboss and it works just fine!

[@blackdiesel]

I like to see the Sumatra and slugs in action. With all the dramatics and dancing it's hard to tell which gun the GSs prefer. lol

[@HunterOne_Productions]

blackdiesel I do enjoy shooting the Sumatra as well. I guess we should judge by the best dancer.

[@foulksnation]

Great Video as always . Both guns leaves no doubt...100 FPE to the back of the face..just devastating.

[@HunterOne_Productions]

Paul Foulks True indeed PF. Thank you for watching.

[@johncastleberry4885]

Since both have about the same fpe, it comes down to shot count. The 25 cal 55 grain hollow point is heavy, and the 44.75 polymag is faster, which gives a flatter trajectory . The Hercules is heavier than the Sumatra, so it also comes down to if your shooting off a rest or standing . Both are very affective. You have to shoot at least a 30 cal to leagaly hunt big game in states that allow airgun hunting, so my choice would be the Hercules.

[@HunterOne_Productions]

John Castleberry Excellent points. All very valid. Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@peteflores453]

Another great video with some great and awesome shooting. I am partial to the 25's and that is only because I own 2 .25's ( the FX Bobcat MK 2 and the Marauder Gen 2 , I have others ) but those are the biggest calibers I own. Both are amazingly accurate, I have taken a lot of big game over the years and I have to tell you I really enjoy my air rifles. I also spend a lot of my time watching air rifle hunting videos, keep them coming.

[@GodinAxeMaster]

Great shooting and even better because it was just you and not that thief Baxter..2 +yrs and still no rifle.

[@phillipcsandoval9094]

Hunter One! Brother, please Keep narrating! I love it ! Thank you!

[@ericwilhelm70]

I’d love to have them both! Excellent video! Great camera work, damn funny, very informative, besides the best part....you are one helluva shot! Keep making these man!

[@tomgee2719]

I love your videos, 25 cal, 30 cal whatever, it doesn't matter to me.

[@HunterOne_Productions]

Tom Gee Thank you Tom. Your support is very much appreciated.

[@bluewater454]

Makes me jealous of you guys who live farther west. Those ground squirrels are everywhere, even in the cities. They would be a blast to hunt. We have wood chucks out east, and if they see you coming within a hundred yards they are in their hole and they aren't coming back out any time soon. You get one shot so you better make it good.

[@cdub8158]

Your voice over skills are funny! haha here comes the drama!! hahaha no wait....he doesnt know whats gonna happen but I do. Fantastic mate.

[@mike48632]

I think I like the .25 more because I can not afford the .30 , Great video !

[@RichRichie33]

Yep Toby there are lights out. Lights totally out and lights completley totally and positively out. 👍Both guns would work for me!

[@HunterOne_Productions]

Rich Pascale Thanks Rich. Looking forward to getting out there again very soon. Great seeing you my friend.

[@SunnyKim_]

you need some Hunter One "Lights Out" tshirts.

[@HunterOne_Productions]

Hathus Totila Great idea. I may try that. Thanks for watching.

[@garyhaslam2217]

great shooting as always. more please with the 30 cal

[@HunterOne_Productions]

Gary Haslam Thanks Gary. More to come for sure.

[@samchorus6159]

Ground squirrels AKA acrobatic bowling pins lol

[@Riky.Airguns]

Good good video brother.

[@HunterOne_Productions]

R. G.s. Thanks you RG

[@casualpreparedness2347]

Damn good shooting and great narration. Excellent video. 👍👍😎

[@ggjflyguy]

that's my problem i want a PCP but can't decide between a .23 or .30 and which one to get.

[@myrongibson25]

I love your work kid...

[@HunterOne_Productions]

Many thanks.

[@robertreyes6613]

Nice production, vid quality looking good 👌

[@HunterOne_Productions]

Robert Reyes Thank you Robert. Very much appreciated.

[@chrislake552]

"He doesn't know whats about to happen, but I do." "Lights out." LMAO!! Hate ground squirrels!

[@tomredmond]

Nice shooting! Think the .25 would be the largest caliber for where/what I'm shooting. 50 yards for the longest shot on Starlings and Grey/Black Squirrels. Can't have the pellets leaving the property.

[@HunterOne_Productions]

Tom Redmond I agree and even with that, you would need a good HP projectile that would open up and stop either in or just after exiting the target.

[@RichRichie33]

👍Probably going out Wednesday.

[@HunterOne_Productions]

Rich Pascale Have fun! I’m in Denver all week. In the famous words of Jon, Go Get Em!!!

[@breakerprepper]

You should call your channel bro "Lights Out Air Rifle"👍👍

[@davekennedy4002]

Great video HAO- good shooting!

[@stewartew]

Great videos, 25 cal vs 30 cal both are killers for sure.

[@davea.9570]

I know those farmers are always happy to see you. Oh and what music are you playing to make them break dance like that? I never new ground squirrels had that much rhythm🤡

[@HunterOne_Productions]

David A. Thanks David. The music that was playing while I was shooting was “Lead” Zeppelin lol

[@John.M264]

Where I'm from out here in Rhode Island I would definitely prefer the Hercules but Where You Are I think the Sumatra is a far better choice those slugs can really Reach Out And Touch a squirrel's head from far away with so much more muzzle energy and you have to deal with all that wind out there but you are the expert I would like to have your opinion if you don't mind anyway some really good shooting and that dark music goes perfect

[@HunterOne_Productions]

John M Personally for anything 75 yards and under, I prefer the .30 shooting Polymags. For 75 yards plus, the 55gr HP slugs out of the Sumatra a hard to beat. So I agree with you. Thanks for watching.

[@derrickmitchell39dm]

I gotta go with that Sumatra all day.

[@bullbars1822]

Excellent pest hunt.

[@bretlawson924]

Love the .30 footage (not that the .25 was bad) Smack down! How far do you shoot with the polymags?

[@ultramdfmk]

I watched...I loved it...I subscribed! Great video!

[@bullmeese]

What's the scope on that Hercules .30 sir?

[@shanerobinson6776]

Badass dude

[@HunterOne_Productions]

Shane Robinson Thanks Shane.

[@joelfernandez2333]

Brutal and devastating!

[@theverminguy7598]

Damn fine shooting

[@jaydavis7122]

i love your hunting video's . i don't own any of these guns but i love to own the 30 cal . witch is more devastating

[@Nai1216]

I would use Hatsan Hercules .30 for a sure kill but that Sumatra is a heavey hitter too, for me it the Hatsan.

[@Dupree403]

KING SUMATRA .25 I have one and know how devastatingly powerful it is. Plus there is always more power to get out of it...without mods

[@HunterOne_Productions]

roshawn dupree Great rifle.

[@kendallpauling9033]

I love the 30. Cal

[@patrickgermond2750]

Nice shooting! Ima getting a 2500 .25

[@erich.2550]

I'm a new subscriber. I must say that was some mighty fine shooting. I like both rifles in action. The results were superb devastation from both. I have a question. The amount of Squirrels you pop, do you ever see a reduction in their numbers, even in the slightest ? Or, is it always the same pretty much ?

[@HunterOne_Productions]

Eric H. Thank you for your subscription. Great question. The numbers will decrease with constant pesting of the property but if you let up, they come right back. Thanks for watching.

[@erich.2550]

Hunter One 👊😄

[@paulbertsch7540]

Although, I did like the blowout that the Badger put on the prairie dog with that 201 yd. shot. Wow, dog parts everywhere.

[@rota66carabinasdear37]

I have a Sumatra .25 , its a beast, sumatra ever

[@wayneneher6362]

Sir, to steal a quote from Ted.....can a ground squirrel really be dead enough? I'll take the .30. Plus, with the right shot placement, it can smack a deer and feral pigs, which means food in the freezer.

[@carllarkylark]

As expected... great stuff. Sumatra .25 please

[@HunterOne_Productions]

Carl Glad you enjoyed it Carl. Thank you for watching.

[@paulbertsch7540]

30 Cal. So devastating! FYI, your commentary is so hilarious. DRT. Perfect! There goes the tail. Makes me laugh every time. I love that Hatsan. Will that shoot slugs as well? I watch all of your vids. Keep them coming

[@visamedic]

What are the scopes you’re using? Excellent “tappage” I’m just getting back into varmint hunting. Rimfire hunted for years. Getting into PCPs. Just picked up an Umerex Gauntlet in .25. Looking at a .357 for bigger stuff. Makes me miss it even more 🤪😈

[@bigearl8687]

depending on what I'm hunting, if it were hogs then I'll probably use the Sumatra with those 55g .deer I'll use both & take a ear shot with those polymags in the 30cal..those 55g right between the eyes...those polymags have a soft tip so it's body shots were it's soft tissue..ill shoot a hog with them, abt an 1/2" or 1" under it's ear...both are good guns from what I've seen ..great video aka sniper man lol...that Hatsan look good, was the stock green ?

[@bigmoe451]

I have the Sumatra 2500 25 cal. Carbine. Is yours a 500cc or 290 cc?

[@HunterOne_Productions]

bigmoe451 I have the 500cc version. Thank you for watching.

[@bigggthinker2151]

Where are you? Where are the new videos?

[@bendangwatilongkumer4829]

Both r good

[@TexasWaters]

Great video! you're like the Mister Rogers of critter hunting, lol. So soft-spoken but such devastating hits. Let me ask you, what scope mount are you using for your camera?

[@greedygringoprospecting6941]

the ploy-mags fit in you r magazines I have to load the one ata time

[@HunterOne_Productions]

kenny cadarett I clip the tips to make them fit. Not change in accuracy noticed.

[@robertsaberniak007]

That 30 cal is just plain mean
