I'm curious, has anyone EVER successfully hunted / killed a coyote at night w a .38?
It's real simple , its CHAMBER size not Caliber size.
It's real simple , its CHAMBER size not Caliber size. Therfore a 357 magnum chamber is larger than a 38 chamber , so the 357 is a no go . Thompson Contender unless its Chamber is smaller than 38 its a no go . 30/30, 35 rem all have large Chambers but smaller Caliber Bullets they are a no go . Chambered smaller than .22lr caliber means just that , no 22 magnum, no 17hmr ,no 221 fireball but 17mach 2 is ok because its a necked down .22lr . The 17 hmr is a necked down .22 magnum . Its dumb the restrictions that they impose but its not hard to understand if you pay attention to Chamber sizes.
