for a listing of legal big game cartridges.
A rifle, shotgun, muzzleloader, or handgun is legal for taking deer if:
• it is at least .23 caliber;
• it is loaded only with single projectile ammunition;
• the projectile used has a soft point or is an expanding bullet type; and
• the ammunition has a case length of at least 1.285 inches, with the exception of a 10 mm cartridge that is at least .95 inches long, a .45 Winchester magnum, or a .50 A.E. (Action Express) handgun cartridge;
• the muzzleloader (long gun or handgun) used cannot be loaded at the breech (muzzleloading revolvers are not legal for taking big game);
• the smooth-bore muzzleloader used is at least .45 caliber; and
• the rifled muzzleloader used is at least .40 caliber;
• muzzleloaders with scopes are legal during the regular firearms deer seasons only, except nonmagnifying scopes may be used by muzzleloader season hunters with a medically certified visual impairment and a DNR permit
Muzzleloader
• Big game may be taken with muzzleloaders that meet the definition of legal firearms.
• Only open and “peep” type sights (including those with fiber optic material) are legal during the Muzzleloader Deer Season. Scopes, including holographic or “red dot” scopes, are not legal for this season, except for use of nonmagnifying scopes by special permit for persons with medically verified visual impairments. A permit application is available by calling the DNR Information Center.
Still thinking the White Ultra Mag from Sportsman Warehouse is a good deal for all states that qllow inlines...
Good luck....
