I really dont think they limited the ethical list to make money. If you think about it that would be a poor choice to market an item, by limiting its use & thereby reducing its potential audience.gas56 wrote: Game Balance again............. $ $
IMO 1st of dont think they are hunters, at least not died in the wool, wind chapped hands, caked blood under the fingernails hunters so most likely they have a matrix based on a number of factors what a specific caliber is ethical for that takes the type of ammunition fired into account.
Take a look at what the new pistol shoots.
This would not be your 1st pick for thin skinned medium weight game. Way to heavy a bullet! Based on bullet selection alone I think what it lists as ethical is about right.
They no doubt need to massage this release a bit, add patched round ball to the avail ammo types & increase the list of ethical game.
