How do they define 'handgun cartridge'?
Is it a case length restriction? energy? velocity? caliber list?
That's a great question.
I think they'd have to have a caliber list like they do now for legal hand gun rounds. I mean, I have an Encore Pistol in the 25/06, but that doesn't make it a "pistol" round, does it?
I just assumed that the list would go from 357 mag up to 500 S&W or something like that.
I know there were a few post floating around here last fall saying that they were going to try to have something figured out by the '07 hunting season, and one guy even heard that certain carbine rounds would be allowed.
I'd just like to hear something officially saying it's B.S. or that it's gonna happen!
