This may be a weird idea
BUT I like large diameter bullets for hunting Whitetail Deer or Hogs
As I feel that a larger diameter bullet allows me to worry less about if the bullet expands
And put more work into getting the bullet to pass through the right area
So tonight I was sorting some range brass
When I found some 10 MM Magnum brass in my range brass pick up bucket
Not many cases , but as I looked at them
I saw whoever had loaded these Starline cases
They had loaded them maybe slightly warm
As the primers were FLAT , the primer edge had lost the rounded edge
So they were put in the scrap bucket
But as I sorted I was also thinking
To hunt deer here in Ohio
A cartridge needs to be 35 cal or larger
It also has to be straight walled , or like the 45/70 or 450 Bushmaster
It can have a taper , but no bottle neck
The way Ohio has the rules written now , a 38 Spec loaded with wad cutters is now OK , that I don't agree with
So as I was thinking , I picked up my Savage 10 that I rebarrreled to 7.62 x 39
Looking at a 7.62 x 39 case , I had a idea
Expand the 7.62 x 39 case to 10 mm and I would have a case with some taper
But I could push a 200 gr cast bullet at a modest velocity and make a great 200 yard deer round
I was thinking that NOE 403-198-WFN-Y1 with its decent size nose and the GC
I bet the round would work well
As I harvest a fair amount of the deer with a bow or crossbow
I am thinking of looking into a barrel
Your thoughts ?
