Write letters to the commission stating your request and reasoning for wanting the change.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

My cousin took his girls to ID to deer hunting thier first time and they used his AR

Start by contacting the Commission: http://wdfw.wa.gov/about/regulations/

Be advised that attempting to get a regulation of that significance changed has a very low probability of success. It often takes years for a minor change (like allowing the use of lighted nocks) to be accepted and implemented.

You will improve the chances of change if you enlist the support of a major constituency group.

If anybody eles feels the same way as I do, email Scott bird,at Rules.Coordinator@dfw.wa.gov .Tell him we want 223 with softpoints for deer and bear and your reasons.I'm sure it won't do anything.But what the heck.My reasons we're ,youth,all the states around us allow it,it defends our country,and we allow handgun with a lot less velocity.I already sent mine.

That's a great buck,with a 223,just proof that people will go to other states to use the weapon they want to use,I was also thinking about coming up with a new ar cal. But hoping this is the way.

I think white and black tales, are doable with a 223 not sure I'd get on board with a bear...

I can kill a deer with a pellet gun also but it doesn't make it a good choice.
That's my one shot.

Shooting a bear with a .223 doesn't seem like a good thing. I'm sure it would kill it, but I bet a lot more would get shot and not recovered then would get recovered.

If they did legalize the .224 cal centerfire rifles for deer, I wouldn't be able to shoot coyotes with my.22-250 or my AR until deer season closed again. that rule is stupid....

Instead of thinking about yourself consider the big picture.  Can a .223 kill a deer or bear?  Yes.  However it takes more skill.  Something most hunters do not have.  There is the possibility of more wounding. 
Another thing to consider is how would you word?  Just saying soft point would rule out some very effective bullets.  My example would be Barnes.  You would be proposing to change a WAC.  How it is written can have unintentional results.

I don't fully understand why you can't shoot coyotes in till deer season is over.U can shoot coyotes with any caliber.Bear might not be that great,they are kinda tough,and run a little farther.

softpoints would be for 223 only,cause too many people would try to hunt with fmj.And a game warden has to tell the difference between bullets.are Barnes plastic tip
