Bill,
I think you`ll love the .19 on the Hornet case. I have a .17 AH and shoot Calhoon`s 19 gn. bullet in it. I pushing it at 3,600 fps with 10.4 gn of H-4227. The .19 should do a hair better. Jim`s bullet leave the coating in the barrel, boy do you get a bunch of black patches when you clean it, but they do not seem to foul the barrel where it looses accuracy and I`m one who puts alot of rounds down a barrel between cleanings, and the barrel doesn`t look dirty. The CZ 527 action is a great action. I have one in .204 and love it.
If your going to swedge down .204 bullet and hunt coyote with the .19 I would not use Serria or Hornady. I have hit 4 coyote with the 32 gn. Serrias and got none. Called Serria and they siad they were for small varments, and Hornady is a bit tougher from what I`ve seen on groundhogs, but not much. I built a .22-6mm for coyotes and got my first one with it on Labor day. I hit him alittle far back, but with the 80 gn. Serria MK bullet he never moved from where he went down.
Keep us posted on the .19`s, I may still get one one of these days. From what I`ve seen from Jim`s bullets they seem to be alot heavier jacketed than most, or all of the other varment bullets and should be great on coyote.
