I hear that about Connecticut, but is there any other jurisdiction that prohibits centerfire for hunting?
Illinois doesn't allow center fires other than shotguns for small game. I would love to hunt squirrels with 38 wadcutters out of my ruger 77/357, but not an option in this state.
Edit: A quick google search shows that it is a relatively common restriction.
just to clarify a bit. did you have a marlin 1894 in 22 mag? very desirable and extremely hard to find gun. or do you mean a winchester 9422mQuote:

That is exactly what I purchased, but my local wally world only sells but one box of .22 mag. I do not shoot much of it so a box of it or so is enough.Quote:

Those kind of laws are part of why I have lived in Ak and MT since 1983. I am not at all fond of the 22mag because of the cost of the ammo. If a 22 lr won't get the job done, I go to the 22H and then move up the line to what ever it takes.
for years its been cheaper to reload .223 than buy .22 magnum here in NZ..... and as we cant use .22magnum on public land for anything bigger than hares n rabbits...and even then we need a special small game permit.... so using the .223 has just made more sence..... and no we arent allowed to use handguns...
I wish we could use centerline. I'd down load one of my 223's.
hmmmmm seeing the thread on reloading PRIMERS...... and then reading here you cant use a centrefire.......wonder how the .44 rimfire would be able to be resserected from the dead???? or indeed any of the early rimfire rounds???
does that centrefire exclusion allow a muzzle loader to be used???the rebel in me seems to be l
searching for a LEGAL way to do things differently or more efficently....
one of the blocks I hunt has access onto another hunting block through farmland but that access strictly forbids firearms to be carried across it...and I have found quite a few arrows with broadheads in the area..... not something I have picked up in any other public hunting area and yet have found three arrows, three different sorts up there,so would guess thats three different people all with same idea.
Technology certainly exists in the marketplace to reload any rimfire. Coming up with 44 rimfire brass would be the sticking point. I don't think it's beyond the abilities of an advanced home machinist to make the tooling necessary to form it, but no matter how it gets done it will be restricted to low pressures or the rims will burst.
Quaere: Would a machined-from-solid rimfire adaptor using a magnum RF blank as the primer be allowed under these laws? The .17 WSM rimfire cases I reform into .25 Stevens are capable of standing 20,000 psi, which is well above the blackpowder pressure that the old rimfires were limited to. That in theory could get you a .44 capable of over 2000 fps from a rifle barrel.
I guess ya dont smoke or drink alcohol either then? Do ya go to sports events or music concerts? ALL these things are FAR FAR FAR more then expensive in comparison. A hi priced box of maggies is 20/50pcs but its NOT a fair comparison as mag ammo is allQuote:

I bought my stockpile of 22 mag back in the 80's. Not sure exactly how many I have, but I picked them up anywhere they presented themselves. My last buy was at K Mart. They were clearancing all their ammo. I picked up 10 cases of 5000 Winchester 22 mag.In the paper box. Remember those? 15 cases of 5000 of Remington 22 Lr. A few cases of CCI Stingers. Among several cases of centerfire fodder they had stashed back there. If I recall correctly, I picked the 22 mag up for 2 cents. When my wife found out I had ran up that Visa bill, she became somewhat creative in describing my future state of affairs.
What's the deal with the Marlin 94 M? I've got one from my dad, NIB, he bought me back in 1983 for a wedding gift. I've kept it in the safe, only took it out to wipe it down with an Outers silicone rag once or so a year. My go to 22 mags are a Winchester 9422 and an H&R Model 700. They both are accurate to the extreme.
