243 WSSM
.25 WSSM
.30 OSSM
All very lethal...
The .25 WSSM gives you .257 Roberts +P velocities... would make an awesome combo predator/deer gun out to 400 yards with a good barrel. Ammo can be bought off the shelf, but as always, reloading will give you your best value.

You will, however experience dirty looks from other hunters who are not aware that your rifle is a .243 because when they see the black rifle their brain is on auto mode and think that it is a .223/5.56

Don't forget it can hold no more than 5 rounds for deer!
Source? I think this is incorrect. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Yup no round limit. Page 76 of the regulation # 11 only state that NO full auto firearm.
I used a 20 round magazine last year and I had no issues.

I'm contemplating picking up a 75 round drum mag and bringing my AKMS with me this season. The looks on people's faces would be PRICELESS! A picture of me holding a big ole buck with my AK w/drum mag laying accross it's body would be a perfect addition to my hunting picture collection. :chuckle:That would be a sight to see!! Awesome!!

I believe this is a rumor started from hunters from other states. Maybe commifornia?

There's no mag restriction for deer. Only restriction falls under caliber of use. .24 caliber or larger.
7mm-08 makes for a great AR round. :tup:

I have a few of the Olympic Arms AR's and love them, My favorite is the 300 OSSM, they have made some great changes to that gun and it shoots like a dream. My wife loves her 243 WSSM too. Damn good shooten guns for sure. :twocents:

5 round limit went away several years ago, but I'm pretty sure I remember that used to be the case here.
OOPS! My bad! I remember being told this when I first started hunting and was shopping for my rifle back in 2000? that it couldn't hold more than 5 rounds, so that's what I bought, that's what I still have, guess I never paid attention to that aspect of the regs since?! LOL
Good thing they didn't change it to 3 rounds haha! thanks for the correction and GOOD to know!! An AR?? Hunting?? BAAAADASSSS!!! :tup:
