Indiana isn't going to repeal the use of "pistol caliber" rifles -- they have been the best thing to happen to stagnated deer hunting. Allowing them has attracted a lot of new hunters, in addition to hunters who had previously given up deer hunting. Everyone is excited to finally free themselves of the shotgun stigma and start hunting with something a little cheaper to shoot, and a lot more accurate. Can you imagine the uproar created by thousands of Hoosiers who bought these rifles to hunt with if the IDNR was to reverse its decision? The IDNR would never "cut its own throat", so to speak.
Took the plunge. Picked one up at dicks today. 469.00 on sale, had 20 rewards bucks and a 10.00 off online coupon. Couldnt pass up 439.00.
All I could find in stock today was Hornady XTP 240 grain. Excited to take it out tomorrow.

Yeah, I've even heard that there has been talk about allowing the 30-30 next year. I don't see it happening, but if you were wanting to wait, that's what I'd be waiting on. I'd rather hunt with a 30-30 if I could. Just me. Don't take that to the bank because that is just heresay, and I doubt they pass it anyways, but still.
That sounds pretty much like BS to me. There's no logic in it and besides-FWIF-the best place to get bad info is from most retail salesmen at a large sporting goods store like Dick's.
