[QUOTE="esshup, post: 1190455, member: 11101"] I decided that I didn't have to build a specialty pistol. Here's what happened. Typically the DNR makes the game laws. They waffled last year when the (should we add rifles to the allowable deer take equipment) was split on public input. So, a senator introduced a bill that would make rifles legal starting Fall 2016, run thru 2020 and it also forced the DNR to keep good records on the take. Private property only. After a couple of re-writes, it was decided that they would list 5 calibers in the bill. Now I quote - ".243, .30-30, 30-06, .308, .300" And that is how it passed. So, now it went to the "clean up the wording" committee. They punted and did nothing. There was conjecture that it was supposed to read .243 Winchester, 30-30 Winchester, 30-06 Springfield, .308 Winchester and .300 Winchester Magnum. So now it is in the DNR's hands and what they determined is that since those 5 "calibers" were listed, that ANY rifle that shot a .243 or .308 bullet would be legal. They made a list of about 85 different actual cartridges that would be legal, but some are .312". Anyway, if I wanted to use a .300 Ultra Mag in a rifle it would now be legal. BUT, you cannot use anything that throws a .270 or 7mm bullet (for instance). It was a case of not enough smarts between the ears to properly name cartridges by the senators, so the DNR said O.K. then, here is what we will allow. Here is the link to what the legislature wrote and got passed: [URL]https://iga.in.gov/legislative/2016/bills/house/1231#document-afa20d5e[/URL] Here is what the DNR reply was: [URL]http://wildindiana.com/a/dnr-gets-clarification-new-rifle-law-deer-hunting/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
