A rifle with a pistol cartrige?
I see on Indiana's regulations that we can use a rifle that shoots a pistol cartrige this year. It says it has to be .357 or larger with a case length min of 1.16" and max of 1.625".
Does it take a special rifle to fire these bullets, or is an off the shelf rifle ok?
What rifles would fire a 357 mag or a 44 mag?

Marlin haslever guns (Model 336) that shoot 44Mag and 357

Marlin 1894 in .44 is the perfect candidate

.44 is a bit underrated as a Deer cartridge. I used to own a Ruger semi-auto(Deerslayer) in that caliber and it laid the smack down on Bucks ..it was like they ran into a brick wall. That would be a good gun as well but I think I heard that Ruger doesn't service them anymore and some of their rifles( not all) are prone to jamming. I never had a bit of a problem with mine.

Thanks for the info guys! I went to Basspro after work last night, and they showed me a Henry in 44 mag. It was a nice peice but had no provisions for mounting any type of scope. The open sights on it were ok, but something just didn't feel right with those sights.
I really appreciate all you guys sharing your knowledge with me!
