Well, I've nailed enough groundhogs with the 22 mag equivalent load to know it does a good job. It's quiet and cheap to shoot too. I like the versatility of being able to use 22 mag loads for short range and full power Hornets for coyotes or longer ranges. Kind of like a 38 Special/357 Mag thing going on. I'm all in on the powdercoating too. Essentially you are making a lead bullet with a plastic jacket, allowing you to shoot plainbased cast bullets with jacketed velocity and accuracy. What's not to like? It's got me wondering what a pc'd 311008 at about 2200 fps would do to a deer. And how much Herco would I need? Or Blue Dot? Or Accurate #9?
