I picked this up Tuesday, nib for $700.  I really haven't read up on them, but the price was right so I bought it. I did a search and didn't come up with too much. I know that in IN it is not a legal deer round, so more than likely it will be used at the farm for groundhogs. Is there anything special I should know about it? I am interested to know about the ammo selection for it, mostly about its availability.
thanks, tim

The IN DNR allows some types of rifles to be used during the deer firearm season. They are refereed to as "rifles with pistol cartridges". The bullet is to be of .357 inches in diameter or larger, the min case length is 1.16 inches and the max case length is 1.625 inches. The regs give a list of some types of legal rounds (that could be used out of an AR), included by name are the 458 socom and the 50 AE. I believe the 50 BW and the 450 BM have too long a case length.

thanks, tim http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa253/nashvillito/2009_0513bushmaster4500031.jpg That was a hell of a price! If you want to sell it I know someone that is looking. As far as ammo hornady produces only one loading, but Remington is coming out with another load later this year. Availability in this political climate is hit and mis. I have done lots of reloading with lots of success. Edit - It is instock with midway and able ammo http://www.midwayusa.com/browse/BrowseProducts.aspx?pageNum=1&tabId=3&categoryId=19249&categoryString=653***690*** http://www.ableammo.com/catalog/default.php?cPath=10480_14658_14743_14909_16855 |
