Would probably use my 300BLK in a rifle configuration instead of in a pistol configuration. Might also give dad's 30-30 a try for nostalgia. Where I hunt there typically aren't many shots over 100yds, so some of the larger full power rifle rounds won't really provide any advantage for me personally.
The one thing that worries me about changes is that it could further embolden the "orange army" to be sloppy with technique since they can further rely on quantity vs. quality. We already hear it every opening day of season as it is...guys that unload their 12ga on a running deer just before daylight. Can't wait for that to be a bunch of .30 cal bullets flying through the woods. I would bet a cup of coffee that if .308 comes back into play in rifles, there will be some mouth breather out there with an M1a and 20rd box that decides to unload all 20 rounds in rapid succession on a pack of deer as they run by.
I don't like the current burdensome restrictions on caliber and type of weapon, but also wish that more hunters practiced safe and ethical techniques. To an extent I think current regulations do help prevent some folks from doing even more dumb stuff in the woods. Not that the current guidelines prevent a guy from unloading all the rounds from his .458 Socom AR, or .300BLK AR pistol, but it seems that generally the guys that decide to build one of those rifles and hunt with it are usually decent shots and experienced hunters that only need one shot to kill their target.
