.44 Rem Mag Deer Bullet

Must be nice to be able to hunt with a .44 mag. Alberta we have a minimum Caliber of .23 and an empty case of 1.75" (44 case is 1.285"). I thought all provinces were the same but I guess you learn something new everyday.lol

Last time I checked the reg's they had removed the minimum case length in Alberta. So... you're OK to hunt big game with a .44 Mag or .45LC or 44-40 carbine, etc.

Have fun.:D

From 2008:
It is unlawful to

set out, use or employ any of the following items for the purpose of hunting big game:
ammunition of less than .23 calibre,
ammunition that contains non-expanding bullets,
an auto-loading firearm that has the capacity to hold more than 5 cartridges in the magazine,
a shotgun having a gauge of .410 or less,
a shotgun in a bird sanctuary,
bait, except as permitted for the hunting of black bears (click here for more information on Black Bear baiting),
an arrow other than an authorized arrow (click here for more information on bowhunting),
a bow other than an authorized bow (click here for more information on bowhunting),
a muzzle-loading firearm of less than .44 calibre,
a rifle or shotgun in WMUs 212, 248 or 410 (persons hunting under the authority of a Strathcona White-tailed Deer Licence, a Foothills Deer Licence, or an Antlerless Moose Special Licence in Strathcona County may hunt with a bow and arrow, cross-bow, muzzleloader or shotgun),
a trap,
a cross-bow and arrow that is not authorized (click here to view Hunting with a Cross-bow)

I have a game warden down the end of the block and I asked him about 3 years ago about it and at that time it was still in force. See what happens when you assume.lol It must have been recently, I haven't been able to hunt in the last couple of years. 44 Mag. rifles are not very popular other than on the cowboy action circuit, I go to about 3 gun stores in Edmonton about once a week and I have only seen one in about 18 months. I have finalized a hollow point bullet designed to work in the 44 Mag and the 444 Marlin that should spec at 310 Gn with the hollow point and has three crimp grooves, one for 444 Marlin, 44 Mag rifles and 44 Mag revolvers, you can also pour it as a solid and should be 330 GN and this should work great.
