.50" is already legal in .50 Beowulf,.500 S&W, etc., so the maximum allowed bullet diameter has to be at least that.
^^^THIS!
I've got a Handi-Rifle in .500S&W magnum that is/was legal last season.
We don't need them stepping backward.

I think BigMatt has it. Anyone looking at those cartridges is likely to say "to hell with it, we might as well open it up." They will need an upper limit though like .458, because sure as grass is green somebody is going to have to go to the woods with a Barrett rifle and try to become Chris Kyle.
Finished my .308 up the same day that the Governor signed the bill into law.
Cartridge is listed clearly as Sec. 8(b)(3)(C) .300. is the way the law lists. No CO is going to read that as Mag. or Win Mag. or Weatherby Mag. or WSM etc. this whole law is designed to be a TEST of the use of centerfire rifles in the Hills and Dales of the great State of Indiana. More importantly, no Judge in the State of Indiana will read that as a violation. You have no worries. They just decided to limit the cartridges in an odd way to get the ball rolling.Any word on the Mystery 300? the restrictions list, I am assuming it's the 300win mag only. But I have a Remington 700 Classic in 300H&H the would qualify if the law just says 300 magnum. I could just see me arguing with a CO about the fact that the 300win mag is a 300H&H that someone just modified into a 300H&H Ackley Improved!
