You can now use that 300 yard .243 as a ground hog gun or a door stop....
What was looked at hard was municipalities that are concerned over "projectiles", MANY of these communities would have closed the door on deer hunting over a centerfire rifle.
While I am an advocate of using the centerfire rifles because of today's technology in other hunting tools ........... this was the correct decision.
I heard six weeks ago the "die had been cast". Just had to wait for the official announcement.
