Equipment on Public Land
Rifle cartridges for public lands (state and federal property) must meet the following requirements:
Fire a bullet of .357-inch diameter or larger,
Have a minimum case length of 1.16 inches, and
Have a maximum case length of 1.8 inches
These cartridges are legal to use only during the deer firearms, youth, reduction zones from Nov. 12, 2022 - Jan. 31, 2023 (in zones where local ordinances allow the use of a firearm), and special antlerless seasons (where open).
Some cartridges legal for deer hunting on public land include the .350 Legend, .357 Magnum, .38-.40 Winchester, .41 Magnum, .41 Special, .44 Magnum, .44 Special, .44-.40 Winchester, .45 Colt, .454 Casull, .458 SOCOM, .475 Linebaugh, .480 Ruger, .50 Action Express, .500 S&W, .460 Smith & Wesson, .450 Bushmaster, and .50 Beowulf. Full metal jacketed bullets are illegal.
So, my question is this:
If the rifle bullet for the .350 legend is .354" diameter, how is it legal to use on public ground? The specs for the bullet are .357"-.0030" which is .354" diameter. Isn't that the same thing as saying "Officer, I was going 70 mph -15 mph in a 55 zone so you cannot issue me a ticket because I wasn't speeding."?
