The DNR equipment regulations below (reprinted from the 2010-2011 DNR deer hunting guide) do not specifically address the legality of deer hunting with the 10mm, but they do list the cartridge requirements along with some specific examples of legal and illegal handgun cartridges. I am wondering if hunting with a 10mm is actually prohibited. Is the 10mm cartridge case not 1.16 inches? Maybe I am missing something here.

***

"Handguns for deer hunting: Handguns,
other than muzzle loading, must have a
barrel at least 4 inches long and must fire
a bullet of .243-inch diameter or larger. The
handgun cartridge case, without the bullet,
must be at least 1.16 inches long. Full metaljacketed
bullets are not permitted.
Handguns are not permitted on any military
areas.
Some types of handgun cartridges legal
for deer hunting include .357 Magnum, .41
Magnum, .44 Magnum, .44 Special, .45 Colt,
.45 Long Colt, .45 Winchester Magnum, .35
Remington and .357 Herrett. Some illegal
handgun cartridges for deer hunting are .38
Special, .38 Smith and Wesson, .38 Colt New
Police, .38/200, .38 Long Colt, .38 Super, .38
ACP, .38 Colt Auto, .45 ACP, .45 Automatic
and .45 Auto Rim. All .25/.20, .32/.20 and .30
carbine ammunition is prohibited."

10mm case is only .992"

Got it. Thanks for the replies.

Yeah it kind of stinks, but because the 10mm is very powerful despite it's overall length it falls through the crack of the indiana deer regs. I'd love to at be able to at least shoot a deer with mine legally, even though it wouldn't be my primary hunting weapon.
