Indiana: HP rifle is deer legal for private land only.
Public land still has the PCR spec....1.16-1.8" .35 cal and bigger.
The initial law for HP rifle was for 5 cartridges (but not explicitly named).......they were of .24 and .30 cal.
IIRC they were listed on the bill as:
.243
.30-30
.308
.30-06
.300
Due to lack of detail (example: what is a .300?) it was opened to any .24 and .30 cal that fit the cartridge spec (DNR clarification). Two calibers.
Anyway, the HP rifle stuff was later changed...... to calibers .24 and up (again meeting a case spec).
FWIW .243 win was legal, under the HP rifle deal............. from the get go.
Crazy. Maybe they should consult someone who owns more than one gun when they write this stuff.
