Re: Calhoon and HSM ammo?
I have used about 500 rounds of the 33 grain bullets loaded by Hunting Shack (bought directly from them cheaper). They shoot excellent, but I would opt for the 39 grain bullets for coyotes. I have not shot calhoon 39 grain bullets yet. I have mic the bullets and they are very uniform. I have read several places that HSM loads .204 with Benchmark Powder, don't know if this is true or not. The bullet is electro-plated with a silver colored coating and seems to reduce fouling (not WS2).
The 39 grain bullet was not available when I ordered my 33's. I reload and carry 35 grain Berger when I am after coyotes. I will give the heavier Calhoons a try when I get a chance.If I do not have time in the future to hand load for a hunt, I will buy more HSM ammo.
