if i read the regs correctly it has to be a "straight walled" case, i know i have a 7mm-08 encore pistol but that dosen't help you,,,

as far as actual pistol cals, i have a marlin lever gun in 41 mag that i have killed 3 deer with, good 100 yard and less gun, but thats about it...

i think i would look at the S&W 460 line....

No need to go exotic or anything. Just get a .44 mag barrel

Per Indiana regs the SW 460 is illegal. It has a case length of 1.8 inches. Regs state the maximum case length is 1.625

Options in an Encore would be:

44 Mag
454 Casull
480 Ruger
50 AE
500 SW

I believe these are the only options TC offers tha tmeet the specs laid out by the IDNR.

I too live in Indiana.
