Cf rifle rules for Indiana update please

[ART338WM]

Was wondering if anyone knows of any updates to weather there has been any progression on legislation possibly allowing or not allowing CF rifles in some areas in Indiana's general rifle season?

Thanks,
Arthur.

If it happens, it wont be this year. There is a whole nother thread on this somewhere.

Now you can still use certain CF rifles chambered in legal cartridges. There is a list of them on here too.

You will get a better response in "The Great Outdoors" section. This topic has been discussed there.

First of all, no action by the legislature (Indiana General Assembly) is needed for the DNR to make the proposed changes in the cartridges or types of weapons legal for deer hunting in Indiana. DNR/NRC can do this by rule/regulation changes. That is where we are now. The changes regarding “loosening” rifle cartridge limits were “preliminary adopted” at an NRC meeting on September 16. Future steps in the process include at least one public hearing, ample opportunity for oral, written, and electronic comments, and final adoption by the NRC. It is my estimate that the matter will not be heard by the NRC before its January meeting. Currently, no date has been set (or at least not publicized yet) for a public hearing.

Please read the info on these links for more details, including updates on the rule-making process:
