Its either a Copper in that or a Rem 700 in 17 REM. Here I go again

Me does. I have the 19 Calhoon and the 19 Badger. They sent a lot of Gophers to the "Grasspatch In the Sky". Worst groups fireforming were .7's @ 150 yds.

Small amounts of powder and good velocity. I liked them so much I'm having 19-223 made as we speak for a switch barrel on my Savage. Now I know you can't possibly hit anything with a Savage rifle and Nikon glass.

One negative you will hear is the lack of 19 Caliber bullets. BS. Corbin makes a Swage to reduce the size of 20 cal bullets. The only thing you won't get is Jim Calhoons proprietary bullet coating. Last I looked though when I drove over to Havre was that Jim looked mighty healthy to me.

You can reach him at his web site http://www.jamescalhoon.com.

The test figures he gives practically mirrored my experiments.

And now my Ruger 204 sits in the cabinet gathering dust.

Best wishes, Bill
