The super smalls have been around for decades, 19's, 14's, 17's, they have been going since the 50's and 60's....

I'm thinkin a 19 would be a lot like a 20. Except for ammo! I was lookin at a .236" bbl so I could chamber it and be absolutely minimal legal for hunting in Alberta. So I guess from one nut to another... Go for it.

Default 19 Cahoon

I have a 19 calhoon, comes with a 19cal Kreiger barrel done on a CZ 527 action. Mine has a great piece of walnut and a super trigger with a single set. I bought mine from a fellow in Reddeer about 3 years ago. The bullets he makes he calls double hollow points. The case is a hornet to start with and gets some shoulders when you fire form. 14.7 gr of AA 1680 powder gets that 28gr bullet moving around 3700 fps.
Another of his designs is called the 19 Badger and it is done on the 30 carbine case I believe. FS

Default supply

When I bought the rifle it came with around 800 of the 27gr and 700 of the 32gr. bullets come in from Montana, or so I am told. I have several varmint rifles so I do not need any more bullets than I currently have. I always have a couple hundred loaded and ready to go, for a variety of rifles. FS
