19's info wanted

Not much problem with the 19 bullets anymore. Corbin has a machine to swage 20's down to 19 cal. The only problem they are not the coated bullets Calhoon sells.

I just bought a !9 Badger a few weeks ago. I am impressed. It's the CZ 527. I just love it.

I was so impressed I immediately put in for a 19 Calhoon Hornet barrel from Match Grade Machine for a Contender.

As soon as I'm up and about I'll be getting another barrell, 19-223 for a Savage Model 10. Then I'll have a switch barrel in 19 and 223AI.

I picked up my rifle from Calhoon in Havre. Nice folks. He has a web site, www.jamescalhoon.com. Jim uses a proprietary coating on his bullets applied by electrolysis. So far I have around 120 rounds through the Badger and the barrel still looks fresh. I could probably go 200 or more rounds before cleaning.

Jonsey had a thred earlier this evening that I wrote in. Check it out.

Best wishes, Bill
