"...Ohio has some strange laws..." Isn't just Ohio either.
I think you're going to have trouble finding an upper chambered in one of those. However, if you can find it, the .450 Marlin is basically a rimless .45-70. The 'rimless' part being important.
The .444 Marlin would do nicely too. Again, if you can find the upper.
And mags with suitable followers. Even for 2 rounds.
Lotta the rest of the legal cartridges are either unsuitable as being under powered or the ammo/brass is hard to come by or horrendously expensive.
Speedo, someone I hunt with called and got an OK for a 10mm despite it not being on the list.
I'm perfectly happy with my 44, so I haven't checked if his story checked out.
Interesting, although I think I'd want that in writing to carry with me..Speedo, someone I hunt with called and got an OK for a 10mm despite it not being on the list.

there is a smith in Michigan or somewhere that's making them in 450 and selling them. it might be 450 bushmaster I cant recall..444 Marlin and .450 marlin will not feed through an AR-15 magazine. They're 2.55" length vs. 2.26" max for the AR15. You could hypothetically build an AR10 that would feed them I suppose, but I'm thinking a modified lower would be required as the feed ramps would likely be a problem.
This is just not a good idea IMO.
used to be the gun had to be plugged and I think shotguns still do.Interesting, although I think I'd want that in writing to carry with me..
One thing I like about OH is they don't make you jump through hoops to ensure the 3 shot max. No modified guns or special magazines. They tell you 3 rounds, the rest is up to you to keep it so.

Seems like your trying to beat the square peg through the round hole.. sometimes simplest is best... Esp with those type of restrictions.
BIG difference. .450 bushmaster fits.there is a smith in Michigan or somewhere that's making them in 450 and selling them. it might be 450 bushmaster I cant recall.
I've been around the fellas slinging lead with an ar at antelope and deer and I always find myself wishing there were more cover for me AND the critters, I can see kids using an ar with 2-5 in the Mag, and I know that those guys don't represent everyone who uses an ar in the field, but there are enough of them to sour the idea. If I were hunting in the OP conditions, I'd be perfectly tickled with a pump or levergun.being and Ohiohunter I ran out and got a 45-70 as soon as they legalized them and also have a 44 mag. IMO there is absolutely no reason for someone to run around with an AR to hunt deer. that just screams either your doing deer drives and want to sling bullets as fast as you can at a running deer or shoot more than one deer when you have a group come in and I think that's exactly why they wont legalize that 450 that is an AR. I also think that's why we are limited to PCR because they don't want guys with AR slinging lead all over the place.
Buy a 44, 45-70 or 444 marlin in a lever action and be done with it. Imo regular rifles are way more pleasing to carry hunting than some awkward AR platform.
This has at least a bit of potential if you can get documentation it's legal.
The .45-90 is equal to a ..45/2.4 Sharps. Which is a nearly exact duplicate of a .458 Win Mag case, less the belt.
