This question is somewhat convoluted, but I'll try to explain.
Last years new rifle bill opened up new calibers to be used for deer hunting, focusing on high power, center-fire rounds.
One of the restrictions is the amount of ammo allowed in the field "for this rifle".
The new proposal opens this up even further, to include all calibers .243" or over, with a minimum cartridge case length of 1.16", and retains the ammo count restriction.
Included in this would be the .327 Federal magnum, soon available in a lever-action carbine.
While this is not a "high-power" round, it is still a new addition under the new rules.
So, If I decided to carry a Henry carbine in .327, does that mean I would NOT be able to also carry my SP101 at the same time?
The Henry will hold 10 rounds, but the pistol uses the same rounds.
Would this be a grey area opportunity for a less than friendly DNR official to charge me for a violation of the ammunition restriction?
I guess I could have asked the same question using the PSA PA10 .308, and a Savage Striker pistol.
They would both be sing the same caliber.
I have a feeling that it would be all too easy for one DNR official to dismiss it, while another might view it as an egregious affront to the law.
Does the ammo restriction only apply to high-power?
