This high powered rifle/cartridge size issue; makes me glad I now live in Kentucky, and I don't have to deal with which cartridge is legal or illegal for Deer Hunting. I'll be using my .308 or .270 this upcoming Deer Season.

I know what you meant ... what I meant was that PCR and straight wall were never law. The law does not leave any doors open. The law is not a goof by those that made it. Not all traditional Pistol cartridges are "straight walled, Swilk. How about the .44-40, .38-40, and .44/.357 B&D?

From Ohio Web page.... The council also approved straight-walled cartridge rifles for deer hunting. The rifles are the same caliber and use the same straight-walled cartridges that are currently legal for use in handguns. The new regulation is designed to allow additional opportunities for hunters that own these guns or want to hunt with these guns. These rifles have reduced recoil compared to larger shotguns, and the rifles are more accurate than the same caliber handgun. Legal deer hunting rifles are chambered for the following calibers: .357 Magnum, .357 Maximum, .38 Special, .375 Super Magnum, .375 Winchester, .38-55, .41 Long Colt, .41 Magnum, .44 Special, .44 Magnum, .444 Marlin, .45 ACP, .45 Colt, .45 Long Colt, .45 Winchester Magnum, .45 Smith & Wesson, .454 Casull, .460 Smith & Wesson, .45-70, .45-90, .45-110, .475 Linebaugh, .50-70, .50-90, .50-100, .50-110 and .500 Smith & Wesson. A new regulation states shotguns and straight-walled cartridge rifles used for deer hunting be loaded with no more than three shells in the magazine and chamber combined. The current hunting regulation states a shotgun must be plugged if it is capable of holding more than three shells. Interesting...... .38 Special and .45 ACP .... couple of deer killers right there. I wonder if there is a single person, statewide, using a long gun chambered in either of those. Also ... it look like Ohio did not just do a straight wall type law ... they just made what was already spelled out as legal in handguns as legal in long guns. No wildcatting of any kind. Clearly spelled out. They could have even left "straight walled" completely out and it would not have effected the intent or understanding of the law at all.

I dont care about straight walled or PCR or what could be considered traditional pistol cartridges. Maybe you meant to direct that at someone who cares about those things?

I just plan on using the same thing I did last year. My straight wall HPR. The old 444 Marlin. And of course my little pistol, which is a bottle neck 308.
