Rules state minimum of .35 caliber, max case length of 1.80" (used to be 1.6, but they lengthened it for the .460 S&W). There is a minimum case length but I forget it; basically .357mag is the smallest.

There are guys taking the WSSM cases and beckon them up to .358". Ballistics the same as a .358 Winchester. .458 SOCCOM and .450 bushmaster are also legal, giving basically a semi auto .45-70. I'm basically doing it just to have a chance to get my coolest rifle out in the woods once more. I actually though about getting another .45-70 H&R handi-rifle and trimming brass back to legal length and having a .475 Linebaugh-ish carbine!
