I was looking at a Facebook post on the Firearms swap shop and this one guy is selling a M&P AR15 .223.

This other guy asked about shooting a deer with it.

3rd guy responds "Cant shoot deer in Louisiana with that caliber."

Is the 3rd guy right?

No. It's a center fire cartridge. Very legal.

Word for word from reg pamphlet:

It is illegal to hunt or shoot deer with firearms smaller than .22 caliber center-fire or a shotgun loaded with anything other than buckshot or rifled slug. Handguns may be used for hunting.

I think its legal, but you cannot have more than a 10 Round Mag in it.

I dont think you can have a 10 rnd. Mag. Might need a five

I stand corrected...good thing I dont deer hunt with mine I guess.

I didn't see in the pamphlet anything about mag sizes.

If a 223 is not legal according to the guy I mention, then a 22-250 isn't either. Isn't the cal, not the shell casing, of a 22-250 smaller than a 223?

Academy had the 30 rnd for 9.99 the other day. Metal, red jacket firearms brand

Also Midway USA is showing some in stock and are fairly priced.

Never heard of the 5 round mag deal in LA. Center fire you're good

Just read through the regs and couldnt find anything about mag capacities. I could have swore I read something about it a couple years ago when i bought my AR. May have been changed since though.

Just did the same thing. Went through RS-56 inside and out. Nothing about capacities other than shotguns and three shells.

Don't see why you couldn't hunt with a 30 round mag on your AR. If somebody says otherwise, I'd like to see it.

I thought you needed a 5 rounder for hunting as well.

What if u only put 5 rounds in a 30.

Or just put 27

I know there are some states that do have hunting rifle magazine capacity limitations. From what I have read, don't see it for Louisiana.

Xtrema2 can too

Franchi I12 as well

.223 caliber is legal in LA.

The fourth round doesn't sit in the tube. It sits under the bolt. Least that's how the beretta is.

Its kind of a pain to get in there. I never do it, but could if i wanted to.

Yeah I know. I also know the answer to the question just seeing if he does

.223 is 100% Legal in Louisiana to hunt deer with just not capable of holding more than 5 rounds in the gun and magazine.
