At long last was this gun law in France ridiculous, because it was all only about the cartridges.
For example, a hunter should not own a classic hunting rifle caliber 308 Winchester or 30-06 Springfield, but many semi-automatic military weapons of this calibers have been converted to caliber 7mm-08 or 270 Winchester, or wildcats were developed like a cartridge 30-06 that was only shortened at the neck, the so-called cartridge 30-06 court Cartry. That was legal.
I remember reading years ago in a Gun Digest that the laws resulted in the popularity at the time of .300 Winchester Magnum and 7 Remington Magnum in Browning BAR's used even for little roedeer. Were those popular chamberings?
