But that said it appears that this law is one of many in the Alberta game laws that needs to be carefully reviewed. If you consider the ballistics, effectivness of bullet construction, and the accuracy of a rifle I would suggest that the .223 or the .22-250 would be far superior to something like a 35 Rem, or a 357Mag in a lever gun. I don't know that the 22-250 or 223 should be brought in to what is legal, but perhaps some of the others should be excluded too. Just because it is over .23 cal does not mean it is acceptable.

Just my two cents
Do you know anything about the .35 Rem??? Seriously??
