Does anyone here use pellet gun in .22 or .25 for small game hunting in the Clare County area since the price and availability is out of this world ? I was thinking of doing some rabbit as I have a Hatsan model 95 in .25 caliber .

Should do just fine. I've killed several squirrels with my .17 cal pellet gun
I didn't want to go too small I have a .22 pellet rifle and do good with it for squirrel so just thought better to be safe as I don't want an animal to suffer .
I got a .22 Hatsun fairly recently to get rid of red squirrels and the chipmunks that are causing damage around my hose and property. I got this one: https://www.airgundepot.com/hatsan-m...-qe-mod87.html
The scope is cheap, and kinda sucks but holds zero. Other than that, I have been happy with it. Its pretty accurate to about 40 yards (farthest shot on my spot). I can say that it turned a squirrel inside out (figuratively, of course), its more powerful than I thought it would be, and louder too!

Always a good thing to find a cheaper way to get outdoors and not harm our ears , I started watching some of the YouTube videos and made my mind up since the cost of ammo and such is out of this world lately . I know these pellet rifles are not like the toys we grew up with in the 60's and 70's . I did get the Hatsan Model 95 Vortex in the .25 and man what an accurate rifle out of the box with open fiber sights and an amazing trigger , It will definitely do more than what I want for pest and hunting .
That's another reason to reload. For the price of good pellet rifle, you can a low-end reloader to start with.
That is a good idea but not everyone has a safe place to store and do their reloading and I am one sadly to say and I would not feel to confident doing it .
