".....Just exactly what is the 19 Calhoon Badger, and what can it do that the 19 Calhoon Hornet can’t do? First and foremost, the 19 Badger’s case can be considered rimless, and as I mentioned, that was a problem that plagued the 19 Calhoon Hornet. Secondly, the slightly larger case could push a 32-grain Calhoon bullet out of the muzzle at 3550 feet per second. This is a bout a 250 fps gain over the 19 Calhoon Hornet. The additional velocity also increased the effective field shooting range by at least 50 yards over the 19 Hornet. In other words, the 19 Badger is a 300 yard varmint cartridge........"

He hasn't updated his website yet - supposed to be updated mid-September...
