Here in Ohio we had our 1st. rifle deer season. The rifles were restricted to a min. 38cal
and larger. Straight cased only. This limits velocities to about 2200 fps. This is in practical limits. I know some yahoo is going to post he gets 3500 fps out of his brush
gun but that's not point of this post. Laws are designed to keep hunters from shooting
HV rifles into populated areas. What they fail to factor in is the ricochet factor of these
big, slow slugs. The laws for next season will be worked out soon. I would like to see
some practical cals. legalized. With out going crazy they could make common cals. like
30/30, 32sp., 35rem. ect. These are proven deer cals. They are only a little faster than
the legal cals. They could restrict ammo to hollow points and would be safer than 300
Grain 45 cal. bullets at 2200fps. I'm going to post on several forums to gain support
of Ohio hunters to let DNR aware of this idea. Then we won't have to drag around a
Buffalo gun to shoot a white tail deer.
