I was reviewing some of the New Hampshire laws today and I noticed that the .460 S&W Magnum and .454 Casull calibers were not on the list pistols in New Hampshire approved for hunting deer. I'm considering lobbying my local State Reps to introduce legislation that would amend RSA 208.3 to include these calibers. I believe both of these rounds were designed for hunting large game as there primary purpose and deserve to be on the list. Does any one know of any reason why I might not want to lobby for these calibers to be added? Are ".460 S&W Magnum" and ".454 Casull" the proper names that we would want to see written in law?
