Actually, it is legal Clearanceman. I missread that in the WV rules also. That pertains to rimfire if your read it closely. I know lots of guys that use the 22-250. They are neck shooters. I never will understand that. Too much risk of a bad shot for me. But they always get thier animal.

but for pistols it reads:
Hunt bear, deer, or wild boar with a pistol using a straight-walled case of less than .357 magnum cartridge or a bottle-necked case of less than .24 caliber
