Default RE: .23-40 cal??

ORIGINAL: gogiggen

Is this a good caliber....I have not idea what it is like....I am thinking about getting a barrel for my gun that is in this cal. I usually use the gun for groundhog hunting.... would this be good for it.....or at least does anyone know of any good cal. reveiw websites.... thanks
Personnally I have never heard of it but based on the info that Longrifle1000 has posted I would strongly suggest sticking to a plain jane 223. The 23/40 sounds like it is way too much trouble for the slight improvement in velocity you would get out of it.
