because my deer tags are either Archery or Muzzle Loader. Which means I cannot carry a legal deer caliber rifle to coyote hunt during deer season. Its in the rule book

I didn't know bow and muzzy hunters carry that caliber with them a lot .I thought with bow u can only carry firearm for personal protection.not sure on muzzy rules

Why don't we give every dog in the parade a ribbon? Geez why change the rule just because you want to shoot a .223. Sell that gun, buy a .243 and be legal.
I guess I'm happy with the rule as it stands.

I wish our regs where that,expanding bullet sounds a lot better than softpoints

I already have two 243 ,i guess I just like the smaller caliber,what I want is 223 case necked up to take a 243 bullet,but they haven't came out with it that I know it,then u have best of both worlds ,i don't think I'm the only one that would use 223 ,if u like it the way it is I respect , and I will follow the regs.
