Calhoon 20 Calibre Bullets

Post by Singleshot »

Has anyone tried either the 33 or 39 grain double hollow point Calhoon bullets on coyotes? If you did, what was the fur damage like?

Wow, I can't believe no one on here has tried the Calhoons. Several years ago my friend shot the 22 cal. ones on p-dogs and he said they were very explosive and accurate. But he has never tried the 20 cals.

I guess you could phone Calhoon. In the past I've spoken to them and they seemed like "straight shooters". I think they would tell you if a particular bullet was designed to be explosive or not.

i have used the 33 calhoons on turtles and sparows very explosive!

If not for my forgetful nature remembering things would be no problem at all.

Thats my kinda varmint huntin'. Don't forget about starlings and pigeons.
I just tuned my Encore trigger to 2 1/2 lbs. Thanks to a Bellm spring. I loaded some 40gr, V-Maxs' last night and I'm gonna shoot (sight it in) Saturday morning. Maybe I can find a crow, sparrow or something, so get a confirmed kill with my .204 Encore rifle.

I have only shot Calhoon bullets in my .19 Calhoon. They work great for me.
