I believe I read where only hollow point bullets will be allowed with the hpr, no full metal jacket bullets will be allowed. That should cut down on the ricochets. I've heard many slugs ricochet.

I'm for the hpr, not because of the distance it will allow me to shoot but because of the accuracy and knock down power and dang my .243 is a beauty. Pure romance.

Will the hpr hurt the deer population in Indiana? I highly doubt it. I plan to still take only one deer next year if I'm lucky. If we all shot monster bucks every year what would we have to brag about?
