Much less the energy of an arrow or pistol round( assuming pistol rounds are legal even)
All that is specified for handguns is revolver or single shot, centerfire, expanding bullet. Muzzleloading rifles, .44, handguns, .50.


That is my point, they could kick out the 223, but you could use a TC Contender in 22 hornet and meet the regs, actually if you could get a 25acp to headspace....

Worst luck I"ve had with deer over the years was 45 caplock and round balls, conicals made a lot better kills but round balls were legal, and at least used to be in some states balls were ALL that was legal...
