[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 1181587, member: 12"] I think you had better go back to the DNR and get somethings in [B]writing[/B] first. According to the latest info off their website which is above, standard bottleneck rifle cartridges are not legal to hunt with in handguns unless there is a change coming. Sounds like you had someone giving you the legal parameters of a handgun and not what was legal to hunt with. You might be "talking" to someone who does not really know or was confused by what you were asking. Indiana has always had some strange rules on legal calibers. I would not want to get caught and charged without something in writing anyway. I used a custom action and just had it listed on the 4473 as a "pistol" when I picked it up. You cannot legally take a 700 action and make a pistol out of it so that leaves the XP-100 as Ernie pointed out IF you find that you can hunt with a bottleneck cartridge after all. [/QUOTE]
