I just ran into this on James Calhoons site and read up on it and makes it seem easy to do and interesting. Take the 223 cases and run it in the die and poof, theres your brass.
Any of you guys know real experience with this?

Thats the only thing I could come up with. I may call them and see what the reaction to them on a coyote has been.
Wouldn't mind trying some of their 20 cals.

That is a sweet cartridge. There is a fella up in Canada shooting big coyotes with his & he has not complained about it's performance. Another fella in Pa shoots groundhogs with 2 different 19cals & loves them. Calhoun is the only maker I know of for .19cal bullets tho. You can also ask Bayou City Boy on here about swaging your own. He has done it.

Cooper sells the 19 Calhoon, also the 19/223 caliber rifles, but not the Badger. Only Calhoon sells rifles (cz) ,cases and bullets. Calhoon also does a re-barrel kit. Cheers, Ken.

I am a 204 fan but this is down right making my mouth water.
I talked to James yesterday and asked the question, do you plan on beng in business for alot longer than you are now, due to 19 bullet availability. He mentioned somewhere in his response with the word EXPANDING
