I have killed deer with the Barnes Expanders loaded by Remington, Rem Buckhammers, and Rem Accutips. I am
proud to say Indiana and many surrounding states changed their deer hunting laws to allow pistol caliber and some CF caliber rifles. If I never shoot another slug in my life I'll die a happy man. I can only imagine how many people were turned off by being limited to slugs and MLs only.
Indiana DNR reported record numbers of deer hunting license sales after they changed their laws. Even more interesting was how many more of those licenses were purchased by/for youth and women.
