I just got back from an unsuccessful hunting trip.

The whole time I was there I couldn't stop thinking about what rifle I would want if this law passes. I was considering a rifle chambered in 460 s&w, but then a 450 bushmaster upper came to mind. The 450 with 20 inch barrel is comparable to a .50 cal muzzleloader with a 250 gr bullet over 150 grains of powder.

Muzzleloader performance out of a semi-auto rifle sounds good to me.

What do you guys think?

I think I have several leverguns that will handle pistol cartridges. Any one of them would be a lot more fun than the heavy 870 I have been carrying around this week. The pistol carbines would be a lot better for several reasons, not the least of which is handling. I just hope they write the law so I could use my older 38-40's and 44-40's. It would be a shame to leave them out.
