Not sure I follow that... The M66 fires both .357 Magnum and .38 Special, either one of those will do in a coon pretty handily.

Somehow the part describing the second choice as a "pre-WWII Iver Johnson Sealed 8," got left out of that last sentence. I know I typed it in but something happened when I hit the Post button causing it to disappear. And you're right, a swaged 158 gr SWC at 800 fps does a quick job on even the largest raccooon when involved in a tussle with the dogs.
