Long Range Straight Wall Case - 02/08/12
There is a big push that looks pretty good for Ohio allowing any cartridge allowed in handguns currently, to be used in rifles next year for deer season. I have been researching and researching to try and find the perfect round to build. The current handgun regs are anything .357 diameter or larger, and a straight walled case. Basically, the 357, 44, 444, 45/70, 460 S&W, etc.
I am wanting a bolt action rifle, so that really limits some of the rimmed cartridges. Does anyone know of any other cartridges or wildcats I might not be thinking of? I didn't want to do a 458, as I would rather have something with not so much recoil, but maybe a little more range. The 450 Marlin would also be pretty easy in a bolt action. I was trying to think if there was any wildcats based off of the WSM or WSSM cases, kind of like the cartridges created for Indiana. But they must be straight walled.
Any help is appreciated.
