Is Stan Trzoniec a regular here on the fire? He wrote an article that just came out on Wolfe Publishing entitled "Calhoon's Nifty .19" where he discussed the 19 Calhoon and the 19 Calhoon Hornet but failed to acknowledge or discuss the 19 Badger. I shoot the 19 Badger and think very highly of it.
Maybe he knows something about this I don't?

Don't think Stan is on the Campfire.
I did an article years ago about the .19 Calhoon cartridges for the now-defunct VARMINT HUNTER magazine. Eileen and I got to go on a "gopher" (Richardson's ground squirrel) shoot with Jim Calhoon and the late John Anderson, the editor of VH. It was a great trip!

I don't know any of the smart gunwriters on the fire . I think JB might agree 🙄

I was wondering if Mr Phil was feeling any remorse for using that “high caliber” 9mm on that bear after his clients and if he had any pictures of the “lungs blown out of the body?”

Any particular reason to go with the .19 over the .17 or .20, except to keep Calhoon in single-barrel hooch and corn dogs? His ads mention longtime Pennnsylvania Game News writer Don Lewis as a fan.
What fresh Hell is this?

I thought about one of his .19s after doing the gopher hunt with Calhoon--but that was a dozen years ago, and I already owned several .17 centerfires and a .204 Ruger. Plus, at the time Calhoon didn't offer any plastic-tipped bullets (he does now), and I'd long ago learned how much plastic-tips improve both expansion and BC in such smaller calibers.
They sure are fun and accurate, though!

Besides, what's a rifle looney supposed to do if he gets an itch?

Thanks!
It was a fun project, partly because it was unexpected....
