Deer Rifles in Indiana this year
Administrative Rule (Regulation) Changes (<- source link)
RIFLES WITH PISTOL CARTRIDGES
The rule to allow the use of rifles with pistol cartridges will become law on July 29. It was approved by the Attorney General's Office and Governor's Office in June after being approved by the Natural Resources Commission in May. The final rule is also now published in the Indiana Register at: http://www.in.gov/legislative/iac/20070725-IR-312060272FRA.xml.pdf
The rifles with pistol cartridges that meet the specifications listed below will be allowed during this year's deer firearms season which takes place from November 17 through December 2.
The rifle must fire a cartridge that meets the following specifications:
o A) fire a bullet of three hundred fifty-seven thousandths of an inch (.357) diameter or larger;
o (B) have a minimum case length of one and sixteen hundredths (1.16) inches; and
o (C) have a maximum case length of one and six hundred twenty-five thousandths (1.625) inches.
There are no restrictions on the type of action or number of cartridges that can be loaded at a time. There is also no requirement that the rifle be unloaded outside lawful shooting hours.
These rifles with pistol cartridges can be used during the deer firearms season as well as at state parks during the special deer reduction hunts. They can also now be used by a youth hunter during the special youth deer season on September 29 and 30, 2007 as the result of an emergency rule signed by Director Carter.
Rifles cannot be used while deer hunting on the following federal properties: Atterbury Joint Maneuver Training Center, Crane Naval Support Center, Big Oaks National Wildlife Refuge and Muscatatuck National Wildlife Refuge.
Some cartridges that will be legal include the following:
o .357 Magnum
o .38-40 Winchester
o .41 Magnum
o .41 Special
o .44 Magnum
o .44 Special
o .44-.40 Winchester
o .45 Colt
o .454 Casull
o .458 SOCOM
o .480 Ruger
o .475 Linebaugh
o .50 Action Express
o .500 S&W
I'm expecting a feeding frenzy on rifles in these calibers at the Indy 1500 Gun Show this weekend.

Henry, we haven't been able to keep them in the store for more than a day. Seriously.
I see those 1894's going for upwards of 7-800. Supply and demand.0 -

Dang, there are several here at GB that could be had for less than $500, some a lot less - wish I had thought to invest in some before this 1500....0 -

We sell them for our normal retail price. I just see the ones at the show going for a ton of money. It'd probably be in your best interest to grab one off GB instead.0
