Proposed Deer rules changes

[HuntMeister]

Just got word that they were adopted 100% today at the NRC meeting...

 

[HICKMAN]

I'll have to go back and refresh my memory as to what all was proposed.

Off to indianasportsman.com and hunt-indiana.com to see.

 

[HICKMAN]

[bbarker]

i have not heard of them changing the required bullet size, but i could be wrong

 

[Yeah]

The bullet isn't wide enough.

DNR: Rule/Regulation Changes

 

[RGriff69]

The bullet isn't wide enough.

Dang! How wide does it have to be? Thanks

 

[42769vette]

.357 wide/diameter

 

[RGriff69]

Ok. Thanks. Oh well...lol

what did changing the length of the cartrige do? What new rounds are legal this year?

 

[shooter521]

What new rounds are legal this year?

None; my understanding is that the adopted changes won't actually go into effect until next year (2012).

 

[RGriff69]

Would the 450 bushmaster be legal? I'm just curious here.

The new rules wont go into effect until 2012.

 

[MRP2003]

OK, what new rounds will be legal next year?

 

[shooter521]

Would the 450 bushmaster be legal?

Yes; its case length is 1.700".

 

[hammer24]

I know the S&W 460 is 1.8"

 

[MRP2003]

I believe that the 450 Bushmaster is legal as the case length is 1.70

 

[42769vette]

450 bushmaster, 50 beowolf (spelling?), 460 sw is all im aware of
