Sounds like a good excuse for a .458 SOCOM. Case length 1.575
“Rifles with pistol cartridges that fire a bullet of .357-inch diameter or larger; have a minimum case length of 1.16 inches; and have a maximum case length of 1.625 inches are legal to use only during the deer firearms season. Some cartridges legal for deer hunting include the 357 Magnum, 38-40 Winchester, 41 Magnum, 41 Special, 44 Magnum, 44 Special, 44-40 Winchester, 45 Colt, 454 Casull, 475 Linebaugh, 480 Ruger, 50 Action Express, and 500 S&W.”
http://www.dtechsuperstore.com/WSSM%20page.htm has a .358WSSM that he says equals or beats .385Win. Indian legal.
I want a 458 SOCOM but don’t have a good excuse for one.
