Roy,
I was fighting that urge acouple years ago. I really liked the looks of the .19 Calhoon, but then they made the .20 cal. into a factory round and there are so many people makeing bullets for it, and only James makeing .19 cal. bullets, I went with the .204. I already have 3 different .17 cal. rounds, the .17 Rem., the .17-223 and a .17 AH. For here in Oh. the .17 AH. is my favorite, but I think it`s alittle lite for coyotes past 200 yrds., even though it shoots flat to abt.290 yrds. The .17 Rem. is a real good round and so is the .17-223, but the .17-223 is just a hair less than the Rem., and you have to form your own brass. I bought the one I have because I found it cheap and I din`t mind makeing my own brass.
If you get a .19 Calhoon it won`t be worth much when you go to sell it, I would recomand eather the .17 Rem. or the .204 Ruger. Right now I`m giveing the edge to the .204, but I`m still forming brass for mine and haven`t drawn blood with it yet.
