This is in the NC Wildlife Org regulations for 2016-2017...maybe it helps?
Pistols • During the open hunting season for rabbits, squirrels, opossums, raccoons, furbearing animals and legal nongame animals and birds, these species may be taken with a pistol. There are no restrictions on caliber and barrel length. • A hunter or trapper lawfully taking wildlife by another method may use a pistol to dispatch the animal or bird taken, except as noted below. • Deer and bear may be taken with a handgun during the established gun hunting season. There are no restrictions on barrel length or caliber. • It is unlawful to hunt or take wild turkeys with pistols. Rifles • Fully automatic rifles are unlawful. All other rifles are legal except: • Rifles are prohibited by federal law in hunting migratory game birds. - Local laws prohibit or restrict rifles in some counties. See the local laws section on page 76. • It is unlawful to hunt or take wild turkeys with rifles. |

I was not able to find anything in writing regarding caliber limit for the state but I think particular counties may have limits on caliber.

Quoted:
Is it legal here to hunt with a lever rifle in .357/.38? I can't seem to find any legislation that prohibits them, but at the same time can't find anything that allows them. I realize a lever gun is ok, it's the pistol caliber that has me scratching my head. Please select your load carefully. Because most .357 hollowpoints are designed for vented-barrel revolver velocities, your bullet might not hold together for proper penetration. The Hornady LeverRevolution 140 gr FTX load is a good choice though I, personally, would go with a 200gr flat point lead with gas check. |

This. Calibre restriction went away over a decade ago.
