25 ACP legal for Kansas deer

Technically, the 25 ACP is legal in Alabama too but I would recommend against it. We have to use centerfire, mushrooming ammunition.

I am not sure how or why folks have the idea that any restrictions are good. We as a whole should have enough sense to use a caliber that we can comfortably get the job done with, with out any help from lawyers that doesn't hunt anyway.

in Sask, we can use any rifle in a centerfire cartridge, larger than .23 cal (now how many judges would understand what Caliber is? Heck, even shooters can't)

projectiles pretty much cannot be a FMJ or Non-expanding solid.

so, a 25ACP in a legal length rifle would be Legal for everything up to moose!

But although a 25ACP is legal for deer, a .223Remington with a quality BarnesX 60gr or so, is not!

it is Government Policy, it doesn't have to make sense!

Here is the way the Montana regs read:

"Firearms
During the General Season:
• There is no rifle or handgun caliber limitation for the taking of big game animals.
• Muzzleloaders, shotguns, archery equipment, and crossbows are legal.
• The possession of firearms with silencers while afield is illegal."

Pretty simple.

It goes on to list half a page of regulations & definitions for archery equipment.
..

here they used to say X # of fps at the muzzle for pistols and a 6 inch or longer barrel and any 22 or larger center fire

now it is a pistol with a 5inch barrel measured form firing pin to muzzle or 22 or larger center fire

222 was a very popular deer round , still is for some

no silencers in Montana....wow.
they are legal for all game animals and seasons here.

it's all an educated guess,,,, till the trigger is pulled.

the more i find out about shootin boolits, the more it contradicts everything i ever learned about shooting jaxketed.

There was a bill that came up this session to allow silencers this year, Lamar. FWP came out against it as it might make enforcement difficult.

I did always think that a Marlin semi auto converted to 25 acp would be a great squirrel rifle. Totally off subject, but since I am up.......Years ago there was the AP-74 ... an AR-15 clone made in Italy ... and it was offered factory stock in .32 ACP pistol chambering! I always wanted one of those (just for a fun "toy"), but never have seen one yet! ;-(

I may have passed my "Best Before" date, but I haven't reached my "Expiry" date!

I knew there had been a move to allow .22 centerfires for a few years, I hadn't heard they had passed it.

I personally thought the old power restrictions weren't bad; .40 caliber and bigger for muzzle loaders, .23 and bigger for rifles and 40 lbs for bows. The handgun laws were kinda weird with that minimum cartridge length, but the .45 ACP was the only viable deer killing handgun cartridge it eliminated.

I'm sticking with .30 calibers for deer. I just can't see where using a .22 centerfire is a good thing.
