survivalshop Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 (edited) Ohio , where I gun hunt is proposing rule changes to allow pistol caliber & what looks like black powder rifles to be used . This is only a proposal & not voted on yet by the commission . It is proposed that this rule be amended to allow the use of certain caliber rifles during the firearms season for deer. These rifles are traditional black powder cartridge or pistol cartridge rifles and include the following calibers: .357 Magnum, .357 Maximum, .38 Special, .375 Super Magnum, .375 Winchester, .38-55, .41 Long Colt, .41 Magnum, .44 Special, .44 Magnum,.444 Marlin, .45 ACP, .45 Colt, .45 Long Colt, .45 Winchester Magnum, .45 Smith & Wesson, .454 Casull, .460 Smith & Wesson, .45-70, .45-90, .45-110, .50-70, .50-90, .50-100, .50-110, .475 Linebaugh, .500 Smith & Wesson. It is further proposed that these rifles be limited to a total of 3 live cartridges through the use of a plug or inert ammunition inserted into the magazine. I just happen to have a 45-70 ,but it seems like they mean black powder for a loading , at least that's what it looks like to me . I'll be watching to see how this develops , interesting they even thought or contemplating this.

shepp Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 In Wisconsin we have a designated black powder season for deer. And you can use any centerfire pistol cartridge (I think) but the barrel has to be at least 6" long. Also we have no limit how many you can have in the mag.

Zebra644 Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 They are also looking into passing the use of suppressors to use for hunting :banana: . It's difficult to find a Chief L.E.O. now a days that will sign on your paperwork, requiring the use of a trust. If this passes it will make things easier. In my part of Ohio it's still pretty gun friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 .460 Smith & Wesson Oh, Sweet Jesus, please don't even think about hunting with that damn thing. It'll try to break your wrist when you shoot it, but it'll certainly shatter your inner soul. Let that one be, as it's pure evil in handgun form. In rifle form, I can only think that it'll try to shatter your trachea with the concussion. That round is the devil... >:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeflyer21 Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 .460 would be AWESOME in a the right lever gun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
