[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 1664932, member: 63925"] They actually are trying to get into the straight wall rifle deer regulation for shotgun slug areas that has been passed in numerous states. I actually authored the first regulation for MI in 2009 but it took 5 years to get thru all the BS from DNR. The rule originally allowed same calibers allowed in pistol in rifle configuration but MI NRC asked to change it to just straight wall which I was perfectly OK with since if written that way, DNR would have definitely killed it. This law has now been fostered in 4-5 states and I just sent a package to NH for them to start process. The [B][U]SOLE[/U][/B] purpose of this rule was to improve hunter recruitment and hunter sustainability. What I find interesting is Winchester did not take advantage to out 1.8" which would have maxed out the case capacity and capability. So they took existing brass and blew it out to 1.71". Would 0.3 make a difference? I think so when you are talking about limited case capacity to start with. Their claim of fastest straight wall is a bit hokey since a .357 Max or even a .460 S&W mag will exceed their velocity easily in rifle configuration which has blossomed in Encores etc. But since they are only "manufactured" straight wall caliber in a rifle, they are staking this out. I think it will do fine since it will likely replace 20 ga slugs etc for youth, women, slight build folks who do not like getting their butt kicked off the bench with a slug recoil. I actually think this will help hunter recruitment for youth, women and even help keep older folks in the game.

I also load my own slugs from: [URL]https://www.slugsrus.com/[/URL] that literally go thru same hole at 50 yds so I still like 12 ga slugs hunting heavy swamp cover.
