Indiana hunters, let's hear your opinion.
Well, it passed.Indiana deer hunters can now hunt with a rifle that fires a pistol cartridge. Here's a section from the Indiana DNR website:
The rifle must fire a cartridge that meets the following specifications: [ul][ul][*]A) fire a bullet of three hundred fifty-seven thousandths of an inch (.357) diameter or larger;[*](B) have a minimum case length of one and sixteen hundredths (1.16) inches; and[*](C) have a maximum case length of one and six hundred twenty-five thousandths (1.625) inches. [/ul][/ul] Some cartridges that will be legal include the following: [ul][ul][*].357 Magnum[*].38-40 Winchester[*].41 Magnum[*].41 Special[*].44 Magnum[*].44 Special[*].44-.40 Winchester[*].45 Colt[*].454 Casull[*].480 Ruger[*].475 Linebaugh[*].50 Action Express[*].500 S&W [/ul][/ul] What do y'all think? Will it change the way you hunt? Will you use a rifle? With our M/L's that fire 200+ yards, will people even grab a <100 Yard rifle? I'm not trying to start an argument, I just want to hear your opinions. Let's hear it! Fire away! |

Just another tool to use. I don't currently own such a rifle since I had no need for one, but I'd consider one now. It won't change things in the field much IMO.

My opinion is that it su*ks. Now we have another method of wiping out the deer herd in Indiana. Its time for some different views in this state.

RE: Indiana hunters, let's hear your opinion.
i dont think its that bad im going to use my bow and hawken or black diamond. I wish you couldnt use high power rifle loads in hand guns but that another thing. I dont think a lot of people will use rifles (except for the people who do because its new)

RE: Indiana hunters, let's hear your opinion.
most of these rounds are accurate at 100 yards so it does not matter much, you can shoot a rifled slug gun or an encore muzzleloader alot farther. The encore will shoot alot farther than most of these calipers, the encore will be my next purchase.

I was given a H&R Handi-Rifle in .500 S&W for my graduation. I plan on using it this gun season instead of my muzzle loader. Just for the sake of trying somthing new. Only problem is the ammo is quite expensive. Its a really nice little gun. The recoil is much less than I thought it would be.

RE: Indiana hunters, let's hear your opinion.
I'll keep using my muzzleloaders for now. Maybe when my kids start hunting I'll get a PCR for them, less recoil than a slug gun.
