We are going to be able to use straight wall cased cartridges for deer starting next year in Illinois. Yippee!
Only down side is that it has to be in a single shot. I have a Henry .357 and an old H&R 44 but would like to use a lever gun of my late brother's or my father's.
I can gunsmith one easily enough by making a wooden plug to keep the magazine from accepting any cartridges and have written the DNR for approval. Not going to risk a fine and gun confiscation without a letter from them.
Has anyone else tried this or heard, reliably, that it would be legal?
