That’s a good start. If the seasons end safely, it might loosen up even more. When the 35 Whelen in single shot rifles was legalized for our “primitive weapons” seasons, rifle and ammo sales of it took off.

What is the reason for all these goofy restrictions? IOWA = Idiots Out Wandering Around Nailed it…. Seriously, never lived in a weapons restricted state, but have lived near many. Never understood it.

Never understood it. A lot of it makes zero sense these days, when modern muzzeloader and shotgun ballistics. My shotgun shooting a 45 cal 250gr bullet at 1900fps is a-ok, but using my 45 Colt rifle to push a less aerodynamic 45 cal 250 bullet at 1200fps is too dangerous 🙄

RUGER 77/357... ... w/ 158-180 gr. XTP. GR My son and I use this same rifle often in Arkansas. We’ve been using 125 JSP and it has been plenty on several deer out to 125 yards. If I was in Iowa, where the deer are bigger, I would go up to 158 gr JSP. People just don’t realize how sweet 357 magnum is out of a rifle.

I think those states is why the .350 was invented. I had hoped and lobbied for Illinois to join them. Thought the .350 might be perfect in rifle for my wife and young son. Finally gave up and bought three new model stainless camo Savage 220s. Mounted Leupold 3x9 firedot scopes on them and been pleased. 8 year old son heart shot a doe at 80 yards and I shot a button buck at 140 last year. Longest shot I've made on deer was running doe at 160 with Redhawk .44. I think the Savage 220 and SW .460 should each be capable at 200+. That is probably enough around here in farm country; but was wanting softer recoiling option for them.

MI went to being able to use a straight wall case in the southern part of the state that was shotgun only BUT they limit the overall case length to 1.8 inches. Be glad Iowa didn't do that nonsense. I'm glad I live in the rifle area of the state and hunt with anything I want from my 243 to a 500 BPE double rifle.
