[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1231325, member: 1656"] The regs were set by the DNR to limit over-travel by limiting to shotgun, handgun, and slower large caliber rounds limited by case length (reducing case capacity). Do you believe a 44Mag really has a similar over-travel distance to a 300WM? There is nothing unique about this to Indiana, as the practice has been in place in other relatively densely populated, flat, open areas of the midwestern states for decades. It's been a reasonable modernization to accept that straight-wall pistol cartridges don't do anything modern slugs and MLs do and expand to allow them too. The place IN previously departed was to allow short bottleneck wildcats, which can reach 35 Whelen performance. It was the ignorant legislature which gave us this Frankenstein law which allows certain diameters, regardless of what they are capable of, but not others that have similar performance. You can agree or disagree with the concept or limiting cartridges to limit range, but there is no sense whatsoever in allowing 6mm and 30cal of all flavors but no 6.5, 270, or 7mm. Regardless of cartridge choice, if you don't think bullet selection can affect the potential for over-travel, I'm kind of speechless. There is a huge difference between how, say, a Vmax and a SMK holds together after impacting a surface. [/QUOTE]
