Mississippi Primitive Weapons
Just got back from a good time in Mississippi with some friends and business associates. I found out that Mississippi now considers 45-70 single shot rifles, a primitive weapon, just like a muzzleloader... WOW! Who wants a smokepole when you can hunt with a Handi-Rifle in 45-70, rain, shine or snow?
It's an odd world at times but it seems to me that muzzleloaders are dead and there are deals to be had in the Magnolia State!

Yep it's true.

I use an H&R in 450 Marlin in Mississippi.

To tell you the truth my range is the same with the smokepole. I just hate cleaning them. So I bought a used 450.

I would, but ever since last year's rotator cuff injury from a 35 yard hatchet through I just don't have the edge anymore. bull
