James Calhoon's 33gr .204 Bullets

[Mark M.]

Has anyone used these, what were they like

Calhoun describes these bullets as being great for “doubles”. To me that translates to “not particularly explosive” and/or “high risk of ricochet”. I love a lot of what the company is doing but won’t shoot those bullets.

We have used Calhoon's bullets for yrs on game with great results, but have never tried the 33's, but if there anything like the others, I would imagine they'll be just fine

All the dbl hp are designed to rapidly expand and minimize ricochets, have not shot the 20's. But have shot 17's and 52/57 gr 22's, no issues.

Not as accurate as I was hoping (may well be a barrel issue on my part, shoots 40’s good but a lot of rounds through it) they get doubles because of the grenade effect on thin skinned varmints. I have a fresh, new 20 Vartarg to see how they do on the accuracy side.
