Author Topic: AZ-Hunter ?????? UTcaller NEVADA NIGHT FIGHTER Member # 8 posted March 27, 2018 08:47 AM                    Vic, Wondering if you’re still shooting the .19 calibers? If so how do you like the Calhoon Double Hollowpoints on Coyotes. I’m seriously considering a rebarrel in .19-223.....

Although I never tried the .19-.223, but a pardner had one. At the time I was using the two I had, Calhoon was the only game in town, so all I used were the double HPs he had....great bullet, I killed a lot of coyotes and cats with them. When using the .19 Calhoon, a hornet necked down to .19, I once shot a big tom, from about 12 yards facing me, right at the throat below the chin...bullet never exited, surprised the hell out of me. Also shot a gray fox broadside from about the same distance with no exit.

I still haven’t decided if that’s the route I want to go but no doubt about it all Three of those Cartridges are intriguing.

Is there a limit to the brass or the powder burn / barrel length ???? It all seems like voodoo to me, but to quote Thor "In my world science and magic are the same thing." -------------------- And lo, the Light of the Trump shown upon the Darkness and the Darkness could not comprehend it.

Things have changed since black powder. At one time, I think Weatherby developed the 220 Rocket? Insane case capacity, but it lacked suitable powders. Therefore, no real advantage over something a little more modest, like a 22-250. That's something I ponder. What is the actual advantage of a Redline over a 22-243? It will probably require 15-20 more, (additional) grains of a very slow burning powder? And, if he gets 300fps from a much heavier bullet, then is the purpose fulfilled banging steel? I have always been skeptical of VLD bullets for hunting, they tend to zip through a coyote size animal, and then you have a runner. So, I don't know? I tend to think a 22-243 is a "practical" limit for normal coyote hunting, if you limit your shots to reasonable distances, which for me is about 400 yards if I have a perfect target. Otherwise, I am better served making another stand, and not wasting the time. I have left coyotes a few times that I couldn't find. I think that's a total waste. An animal has to be stationary and confident and standing close to some marker, a tree, a rock, etc. Too many times, it's endless sagebrush and all you have to go by is the LINE. You could be off by hundreds of yards, one way or the other. Then, too is the fact that there are other cartridges. I used to have a man in the club that used a 300Win Mag. He claimed some impressive long range shots, if you can handle the recoil? Actually, for most of us, a 22-250 to a 220Swift is all the cartridge we will ever need....for normal coyote hunting. As I said, I used a Swift for 15 years and never felt the need for more velocity. My 22-250 Ackley is a lot better and the practical thing is more reloads and a narrower midrange trajectory, helping in bullet placement. I still think it is more than adequate, with a long barrel, but that has to factor into the equation as well, then you need to pick a slightly faster powder in a slightly shorter barrel. I haven't got to the suppresser factor yet, but screwing an 8" can on a 26" barrel is a little awkward, so I can see why somebody would go more case capacty and then shorten the barrel. This shit can make your head spin. Now that you are thoroughly confused, Good hunting. El Bee -------------------- EL BEE Knows It All and Done It All. Don't piss me off!

Now, if you'll excuse me, I want to go and try changing my arrows forward of center balance point from 11.25 % to 11.50 % to see if the flight improves. -------------------- And lo, the Light of the Trump shown upon the Darkness and the Darkness could not comprehend it.

Who would'a thunk it ??? If you think that 'doing your part' applies to compounds, try shooting a recurve. When I hunt, anywhere thru both lungs is good, but I also shoot tournaments for competition and camaraderie and that standard won't win too many dust collectors. Got a shoot this Sunday in Globe and the big one in Simi Valley in May. -------------------- And lo, the Light of the Trump shown upon the Darkness and the Darkness could not comprehend it.
