Thanks guys. Looks like we will have to try it on Oklahoma whitetail instead. If I take everybody up on the beer I may be too drunk to hunt! Anyone been to the Rifleman in Rawlins??
This is what the reg actually says about calibers. Section B got close to covering it but unfortunately I am not aware of a 10mm load that produces 500FPE @ 100yards. But then again it says "generally"!!
