.450 Bushmaster or .50 Beowulf in Firearm Restricted Area
« on: April 21, 2015, 03:35:41 PM »
Or the .458 SOCOM.

You could now build yourself an AR pistol in not-so-popular rounds like the .450 bushmaster, .50 beowulf or .458 SOCOM and hunt deer in Firearm restricted areas and follow the letter of the law for those areas (perhaps not the spirit). 

WDFW has allowed semi automatic handguns of calibers larger than .40 (10mm) for approved use in firearm restricted areas.  Good for them, sounds like I need to build a .450 bushmaster upper for my AR pistol lower.   :tup: :tup: :tup:

Good times. I've shot my dads Beowulf. Good times if you aren't the one paying for ammo!

I take it there's the same 4" minimum barrel length requirement?

I have a .450 Bushmaster. I love it. But I don't think you could go wrong no matter what round you choose.

I would assume so... but why would you want to shoot a .450 out of a barrel shorter than 4"   :dunno:

It is unlawful to hunt wildlife in the following
firearm restriction areas with centerfire or rimfire
rifles, or to fail to comply with additional firearm
restrictions, except as established below.
In firearm restriction areas, hunters may hunt
only during the season allowed by their tag.
• Archery tag holders may only hunt during
archery seasons with archery equipment.
• Muzzleloader tag holders may only
hunt during muzzleloader seasons with
muzzleloader or archery equipment as
defined by department rule.
• Modern firearm tag holders may hunt during
established modern firearm seasons with
bows and arrows; crossbows; muzzleloaders;
revolver-type handguns; semi-automatic
handguns of .40 (10mm) caliber or larger;
or shotguns, so long as the equipment and
ammunition complies with department rules.
Awesome! I just happen to have my 10mm on order now. waiting on background check.  :IBCOOL:

Looks like a SBR would not be legal.  Too bad, a suppressed SBR in one these calibers would be awesome.

  It may be legal under WDFW rules, but a lot of firearms restriction areas are also covered under county laws that restrict all firearm use whether it is rifle, pistol, or muzzle loader.
There is no greater respect to have for wildlife than to harvest an animal fairly and use it's flesh to feed your family.  ~me

Better be careful. Most of these are local regulations and not WDFW regs or on top of WDFW regs.

My son and I use a .480 and a .454 Casull. They are Ruger super Redhawks with 2 to 7 Burris scopes. Shot a 235# 5x5 mulie last year at 80 yards and it collapsed in its tracks. The Casull will cause a loss of your left one at every trigger pull.

I'm missing it.
Where do you see a SBR not legal for hunting?
You'll never get a Big'un if you keep shooting Little'un's.

Rifles are not legal in firearm restricted areas.
Nature. It's cheaper than therapy.
