RE: deer hunting in WI question
ORIGINAL: WrackMaster It doesn't specify in the handgun paragraph, but in the rifle paragraph it says you can't use a 22 rimfire for deer. Going back to the 2002 book it says specifically in the handgun section that it is to be 22 "centerfire" or larger. I'm sure thats what they mean in the '04 manual, but they should print it that way. |
RE: deer hunting in WI question
KEEP IN MIND..... A 22 centerfire is a very powerful load, and its pretty doubtful that very many people on this forum has even seen a true 22 centerfire. They stopped being a mainstream gun in the mid 1930's, they shot a 45 to 50 grain bullet, at barrel speeds anywhere from 3000fps, to 3700fps, very similar to a modern .223, just a hair slower, and about 5 grains less lead. It is a pretty rare find to even be able to locate a reloadable shell, and as far as I know, Mainstream gun sales havnt offered the ammo since the late 50's or early 60's. fifty years from now they will be arguing about a .17 being a rifle, or an air-rifle caliber.
