Are you going to tell me you can shoot as far with buckshot as a .30-06 rifle loaded with 150 grain spitzers?
You're not using buckshot in the midwest states...

Yeah but, it will probably remain a private land only thing. If you come up to hunt public land you better still bring your slug gun, muzzleloader or a rifle that fires pistol caliber rounds.
It actually may get axed all together, not much effort is being put into it.
Can one use a pistol that fires those same cartridges that are legal in a rifle?
Who cares what Indiana does?

And these folks, many of them care.Maybe the hordes of southerners that swamp the Midwest during deer season?
the .270 was a death ray brought to earth by aliens and given to Jack O'Connor to wipe out all game species in North America.
That is what I am guessing the Indiana state legislature was told based on how much sense the regulation makes. After listening to some of the commentary from GA lawmakers on the baiting debate, this is about the level of understanding I assuming state government has when it comes to game and fish.
