300 Blackout Pistol legal for deer?

[matthewquigley]

I've heard recently that the 300 will be legal for deer. Does anyone know if this is correct? I've heard that as long as it's from a pistol it will be legal. I have a stripped lower here....hmmmmmmmm

Handguns, other than muzzleloading, must have a barrel at least 4 inches long and must fire a bullet of .243-inch diameter or larger. The handgun cartridge case, without the bullet, must be at least 1.16 inches long. Full metal-jacketed bullets are not permitted. The handgun must not be a rifle that has a barrel less than 18 inches or be designed or redesigned to be fired from the shoulder.

Sounds good to me.

It was legal this past year. There is a member on here who I remember got a deer at 300 yards or so with a 300blackout pistol

300 yards with a pistol length barrel? He must be a damm good shot..I can barely get on target at that range with a rifle .... I guess i need more practice..

I haven't tried it yet, and probably won't at those distances, but I have a Savage Striker pistol in .308 Winchester. It has a 16" barrel with a 1:10 twist.
It is scoped, and has a bi-pod. I've been told I could take a deer at 600 yards with this "pistol", and it too is deer legal in Indiana!

yes, it's legal. I'm building one now.
