I could be wrong, but I thought .243 is illegal to hunt with in Indiana unless it's a handgun with at least a 4" barrel. Maybe one of the experts on here can correct me or agree witrh me.

Yea I shot it with a .243 Savage Stryker Pistol, lol and yes its legal to hunt deer with in Indiana. Most hunters are not familiar with the Savage Pistol but I prefer it compared to the Encore pistols, its a tack driver and is actually more like using a rifle than a pistol. I plan on using it anywhere I have a chance to do some long distance shooting.
Yes I think it would deafen you without ear protection and with the muzzle break on it its wicked loud.LOOK at it, but don't fire it without ear pro. Not even once "just to see".

I am going to get into more primitive hunting at some point. No bows though! Probably just spears from wood, flint, and sinew. No atatls either. Too much of an advantage if you use an atlatl and its not sporting enough. Just poking back!My bow is silent Just poking is all. Been a fun read as I love guns but not for hunting purposes. I'm a fan if I were to hunt with a gun of Muzzleloaders or the Savage 220.
