just curious to everyones opinion on the 19-223 Calhoon for ground hogs and occasion coyotes - Especially you Ernie as you are in an area that you have most likely seen and fired one - I believe they are made in Wyoming?

Sub caliber bullets are very limited in availability.

The 19-223 is a wonderful cartridge as is the original 19 Calhoon (30 Carbine), both have proven to be extremely accurate as well as being light on recoil, the 19 Calhoon is also easy on barrels. Personally I have been dreaming of a CZ actioned Speciality Pistol in 19 Calhoon as it is truly a awesome cartridge that I would love to play with. But as stated above, 19 caliber bullets are close to impossible to find as well as being more expensive when you do find them. One of the only places you can find them would be from Calhoon, as great of a guy the old man is I have a natural distrust for any monopoly. Another choice that has received wide acceptance would be one of the 20 calibers as 20 Caliber bullets are much easier to find as well as being much less expensive then the 19's, while still giving the performance. The 20 Vartarg has proven to be a wonderful cartridge that is extremely accurate and easy on barrels, while for longer range work a 20PPC, 20BR, 20 Practical, 20 Tactical or even the common 204 Ruger would also work great. Here is a good article discussing the merits of various 20's:

Calhoon is probably the only one that makes 19 caliber Im guessing?
