It’s not a loophole. It’s just a stupidly arbitrary way that our government decides to enforce laws.

So it shoots pistol ammo... makes sense now.
Michigan is now the same way in zone 3. Basically lower southern peninsula... I just hunt deer with my CVA Optima pro in .45 cal. Some shoot the gun out to 200 yards.In Iowa we can now hunt deer with straightwall pistol ammo. So obviously 45-70 is good to go.
Just be sure to leave the overpowered long range 30-30 at home...
I read the .45-70 is a caliber for hunting in heavy brush and shoots nicely flat out to 100 yards, but then drops quickly after about 150 yds. Seems the 6.5 grendel and .50 beowulf in an AR platform is all the rage these days. Yes, black guns can be used for deer hunting. Black guns matter lol.

I normally take my old sporterized 30-06, or the 6.5mm mouser. Around here you aren’t going to see much over 100/150 yards.
The mouser is a beast. Can hit soda cans at 300yrds with 80 year old iron sights.
I bought a .35 Remington marlin leaver gun, but I need a lot of practice with that one.
100 or 150 is a good distance to see.
Up here, even being able to make a 50 yard shot without hitting a branch or something is a miracle, we got some thick forest.

Gotta ask, what model that was sporterized? my grandpa sporterized a 03-A3 Springfield, it's a beast at like 9lb (and the hard plastic butt plate leaves a dent when sighting in...), the Savage with synthetic stock is easier to carry around...
