These new cartridges ( 450 Bushmaster, 350 Legend) are interesting and practical for these restricted areas. However, rules and legislation is constantly fluid and hard to keep up on. By the time these cartridges get a foothold the rules will change. What’s truly entertaining and frightening at the same time is going on some local forums where the IQ pool is rather shallow and reading some posts. I’m not sure what math calculations these guys are using but a lot of them somehow figure the 450 Bushmaster is an adequate 500 yard deer rifle. Try to explain to them that their figures may hold true for area target accuracy but not for hunting and all hell breaks loose. Thankfully I don’t hunt in those areas where there are 450 Bushsnipers around. I’m thinking if I did a nice lever gun in 44 Mag or a Ruger 77/44 would be my Huckleberry. Kind of sounds like the 351 Self Loading revisited.
