[QUOTE="esshup, post: 291853, member: 11101"] Rifleman67: Good morning! You really aren't that far from me. I'm roughly 30 miles due East of Valpo., approx. 2 miles North of Rt. 30, and 12 miles West of Plymouth. The specs for centerfire rifles for deer require a caliber of .357 or larger, brass maximum length of 1.625". To my knowledge, when the law was put into effect, there was no stipulation that it be a straight walled cartridge. So, if you could get a short, fat bottleneck to feed, anything goes. If someone wanted to use a single shot, the options are easier. The easiest way to get close to a 300 Yd bolt action rifle would be to take a .25 WSSM trim it back to 1.600" to give yourself a bit of room to grow, and open up the neck to .357/.358. There are other cases that are bigger diameter, but getting them to reliably feed and to get them short enough to comply with the law would take a lot more work. I really wanted to see if I could get a .408 Chey-Tac case to work, but I've more pressing projects at this time. [/QUOTE]
