[QUOTE="NMcCullough, post: 775916, member: 24642"] I have to respectfully disagree. I agree that 22 cal centerfires should be (and now are) legal. When this was proposed, I had hoped they would place a bullet weight restriction on it (and they did). I am all for freedom to choose but I don't think we should make it so easy to make the wrong choice. The readers and posters here are likely far more educated on bullet and cartridge choice than your average hunter. They also likely are far more practiced with their rifles. Many guys might see that 223 is legal, load up their AR with 55 grain FMJ or V max bullets and go hunting. It might turn out ok, but in many cases, we all know that the game they wound would not be recovered. Some of these guys would call their tag filled, but many others would keep on hunting and may continue wounding game. Go to Walmart and buy factory 223. Most of it is not suited to hunting deer sized game but those who don't know any different would likely use it because it's what is available. [/QUOTE]
