> or any of the following

That's why I wrote "[violation to]".

As I stated in another thread, rules do not always make sense because common sense is not used in the making of said rules!

Correct. A 357 Mag handload from a carbine is a great short range deer round. Too bad. Also no 41 mag? Really??

Some States specifically allow pistol cartridges in carbines .
The 25/20 is a prime example of a short cased cartridge that was illegal for many years in Alberta until the case length restrictions were removed .
It might be "okay" in a rifle but it is still a cartridge that I would not even consider over some cartridges that are still not legal to use .

wow, the 45 grain s.d. is .155, only a few applications for that imo
the .224 stuff over 70 grains will work pretty good and the .224 valkyrie or anything else that can run the 90 grain stuff will be stellar
not sure if there's much in the .204 range over 45 grains though? would certainly limit things to 100 yrds or less with that combo
hopefully AB follows suit, open some doors for sure

Enough sectional density talk. It is completely irrelevant when it comes to expanding bullets.
