Let me guess...you like it because:

1. It is corrosive.
2. It has a Berdan primer.
3. It is cheap.

I'm guessing #3.

Is that the round you use on groundhogs and squirrels?
......

Groundhogs- yes
Squirrels-no

Using surplus machine gum rounds (Greek mfg. 1947) and bench rest. I whacked a groundhog at 260 yd. with open iron sights. Btw, the rifle was made in 1906 by BSA.
With half its rifling shot out from corrosive ammo it's still an accurate weapon.

Squirrels. I use a Winchester model 77 with a 4x Weaver scope. It's chambered for .22 short only.

One thing about berdan primers and cellulite propellants, is you take a bit extra time cleaning the rifle after you're done with it. I'm probably more thorough with cleaning than most because if that reason.
