Better read the rule book again. CLICK HERE and scroll down to page 24 in the lower right corner.

Iowa allows Centerfire Rifles .24 caliber and larger to be used in the January Rifle Season. That season is only open in the bottom two tiers of counties. A 26 Nosler being based on the 6.5mm/.264" bullet is more than enough for deer, let alone bigger critters like elk and some species of bear as a couple of examples.

I have been hunting the Iowa Rifle season every year so far since they started it, has always been that way.
