indiana deer rifle change

[indianabob]

with indiana changing the max case length that you can legally hunt with next year from 1.625" to 1.8" ...does anybody know what would this would include offhand?

thanks!

458 Socom should be in on that list. Great round and you can now hunt with an AR platform.

458 Socom should be in on that list. Great round and you can now hunt with an AR platform.

458 SOCOM is already on the list.

 

[jghelton]

458 was on the list this year, it changes it up now for the 460 s&w .....not sure about others though

 

[1911Shooter]

Well I guess I should have bought that new upper this year. O well there is always next year I guess. Thanks for correcting me guys.

In the world of ARs, .450 Bushmaster and .50 Beowulf are now legit.

 

[Drakkule]

My boss has an AR in .50 Beowulf waiting for next year.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Is this going to eliminate the .357 and .44 magnum?

*edit* Nevermind... misread the first post... it's "max" length that's changing.

 

[upchurch67]

No. It only changed the max allowable length. The min is still 1.16".

The 450 Bushmaster will become popular because the ammo is less expensive than the SOCOM, but I still think the SOCOM is a better round.

.50 Beowulf for deer hunting! LOL, from what I understand about the round that was designed to punch through and engine block, you should be able to shoot the deer in the front and have the round exit the back of the deer. Here is a quote from an ad for a .50 Beowulf:

"you heard right with the 380 grain solid brass Thor hammer round available from Satern machine you can do anything from knock a diesel engine out of a truck, put in a new door, split wood, even skin, field dress and mount a deer head on your wall all with just one easy trigger pull! "

Actually, the .50 Beowulf is, roughly, ballistically equivalent to .45-70.

"380 grain solid brass Thor hammer round"
This won't be the round he uses for deer, trucks and cars maybe, but not deer.

 

[patience0830]

I think the .460 S&W is the main reason for the length change as the case is right at 1.8 IIRC.

 

[indianabob]

what do you think about a 444 marlin trimmed down to meet the 1.80 case length..then going to a heavier bullet to meet your oal length on your bullet?

the straight case is appealing and should pack a punch

 

[Cerberus]

.50-70 will be legal.

 

[luvall]

What about the Desert Eagle 50 AE.

 

[Yeah]

Long courtships are painful to watch.

As is the .458 SOCOM.

Does the 30-30 now count? That would be great! I know that's the one everyone with a traditional lever action is waiting for.
