We don't have any shotgun only areas here, but they let you use single shot rifles .35 cal or larger in the early primitive weapons season.

Years ago I bought a 12 ga Mossburg bolt action with a riffled barrel. I just finally put a scope on it, need to get it sighted in. Bet that’s going to be a fun one.
We do have a shotgun only elk hunt here, I would like to draw it in the next few years.
wws

Here is our 1.6" case with a 35cal, 220gn Sierra that we made for Indiana that fit the parameters' for the pistol cartridges that were legal. I changed the rifle to a 300WSM after they opened up the rifle hunting.

Flipper, what kind of velocity were you getting out of that?

I can't remember, I texted a friend to see if he has it written down. They quit making the Sierras and I switched to the 35cal Barnes 200gn TTSX, they were faster and flatter shooting. Both stoned a deer! We used H4895.

I don’t understand how New Hampshire has two Democrat U.S. Senators and both of your U.S. House of Representatives are Democrats. Do they vote for anti-gun legislation?

^^^^^^^^ we have a Republican Gov.

NH gets polluted by the liberal state below us..where all the Massholes move to NH

For a better life ...and bring their democratic thinking with them...

It sucks

MI made the change to allow straight wall cartridges in the southern / shotgun zone ~2014

A co-worker and I built him a wildcat of sorts to meet the requirements and basically get 45-70 numbers, without being too long for the MI regs (like the 45-70 is).

We just trimmed a pile of 45-70 brass down to the max length allowed (1.80") and worked up a load that was hitting medium strength 45-70 loads.

Once the gunshop in the thumb partnered with Ruger in 2016 to make their Americans in 450 BM, that became the biggest thing since sliced bread and did exactly what we did.
