The .19 Calhoon Hornet is a .19 caliber rifle wildcat cartridge. It was created by James Calhoon after his interest was piqued from learning about British sub-caliber rifle trials in the early 1970s.

The cartridge is based on a necked-down blown-out .22 Hornet cartridge. This provides less stretching, and greater case capacity with a lighter bullet. The result is a flatter trajectory when compared to the .22 Hornet. Having a larger bore than the .17 caliber centerfires helps mitigate some of the fouling problems that rifles in that caliber tend to have.
