Let us influence 10MM hunting in Indiana

[Cain71]

Indiana isn't in the dark and you don't have a clue what you are talking about.

See I knew I would get to see Jack back in action....Like him or not he has a good couple of points.

No he didn't

Here is some 10mm hunting stories

10mm hunt

Don’t forget that there were a lot of 10mm firearms produced, they are still around.

A Thompson Contender is a good choice, and they have old production and new aftermarket production barrels in 10mm available.

Here is some info on the Thompson Contender from the Bren-Ten page.

Here is a list of 10mm firearms, 8 of which are in production, and now include the aforementioned Bren-Ten brings the total of 9 current production 10mm firearms.

How could this be true?? This is taken from the link 10mm hunt


I am now in a moral and ethical dilemma do I pester the bear or run the risk of people getting hurt. I yell at the bear and throw a log at his backside. He runs a few feet away then turns and runs straight at me. I hold my ground as I have been false charged before but none the less draw down with my Glock 20 10mm he gets about 10 feet away and stops then stands up. After standing he put his ears back and started walking straight at me. I fired twice (double tap) and he dropped instantly. The Bear skinned out at 6.3" square and weighed in at approximatly 500 lbs.

After calming myself down and making sure that the bear is actually dead I call in the State Troopers. We skinned the blackie and to my amazement both shots penetrated through the back of the bears skull. The first shot (presumably) passed through the skull and lodged in the left lung. The second shot passed through the skull and fragmented. One fragment lodged in the shoulder area and the other clipped its spinal cord.

How could the shots penetrate through the back of the skull if he was walking straight at him??? I can't buy this story.

I think he's saying the bullet passed from the front allthe way through the back as in it passed clean through.

 

[Cornbread]

Don't think so He said The first shot (presumably) passed through the skull and lodged in the left lung. The second shot passed through the skull and fragmented. One fragment lodged in the shoulder area and the other clipped its spinal cord. If he was coming straight at him if would have exited out the back.

I agree, some of this does not gel.

Remember most people after an encounter, such as this, don't remember everything just right.

I do not necessarily doubt the story, just the accounting of it.

Maybe the bear dropped to all fours as he shot.

I have no intentions to debate the validity of hunting with a 10mm based on the questionable accounting of one person’s story.

There are plenty of successful 10mm hunts including those by Ted Nugent.

There are also plenty of unsuccessful hunts with many other “legal” cartridges.

Many of the legal rounds are varying in power, some are more and some are less powerful than the 10mm.

This is the reason that there are those who wish to include the 10mm. It is every bit as powerful as a 41 magnum being that it reaches the 700-840 ft lbs E rang, this out classes the “legal” .357 magnum. It also exhibits an extremely flat trajectory.

10 mm is legal in Indiana for deer............well, the 10mm magnum is

 

[loony1]

This was a topic discussed yesterday in the shop, I for one would like it to be legal.

 

[ChrisK1977]

I would love to see it to be legal. Lord knows it is more than powerful enough. They make plenty of hunting loads for the purpose to hunt med. size game.

Rofl, I am looking at buying a glock 10 mm and found this thread. I actually read it all and by gawd, that guy is an idiot. Made absolutely no sense at all.

I admire the guys with the logic, and you really tried hard, but I've always been told," argue with a fool, and the onlookers won't be able to tell the two of ya apart".

 

[ChrisK1977]

I love mine still think it's to bad I cannot use it here in Indiana.

 

[Cameramonkey]

I think the guy is right. We should pester dnr to add 10mm. We don't have near enough caliber choices already.

 

[ghitch75]

460 Rowland would be nice too....

 

[SMiller]

I would just be happy to get 30/30 back, its BS the oldest deer gun there is and we cant use them...

 

[Hookeye]

Cater to special interest groups even more? Why sure!

All those in a same sex marriage can run whatever rifle/handgun cartridge they want in the regular sporting deer season.


Imaginary problem solver of the highest efficiency, I should run for freakin' office!

 

[ChrisK1977]

I don't get your post

 

[Cameramonkey]

I think hookeyes' post was pointing that we have plenty of other choices of guns. We don't need another Special round like the relatively obscure 10mm. It is much farther down the list of rounds that should be approved instead.

 

[Hookeye]

I don't get it either
The 10 mm Magnum is legal................
