You can legally hunt with a 9mm pistol, but you can't with a 22-250.  Explain that.
My understanding is that hunters wanted the ability to dispatch a wounded animal with a handgun. Shooting a crippled deer in the head with a 9mm at two feet would certainly be sufficient to kill it.


I beg to differ on that. This year I saw 2 deer that needed to be finished with a handgun, both standing over the deer shot to the back of the head twice with a 40 cal and they both didn't die.  A knife in that situation is a better option.

Well you were using 10mm short.  :chuckle:
If you shoot a deer in the head from 2 ft away using a 40 cal and it doesn't die, you missed
Liberals are very compassionate with other people's money!

6x45 is made from .223 brass. Can we expect Fish and Game officers to carry a micrometer for enforcement?

I would hope whatever gun you are using has the caliber engraved on the barrel?



Most of the wildcats I own do not.

That's really smart. Get a wildcat and you are the only person that knows what caliber it is. Must be super secret? Seriously though it seems dangerous to not have the caliber engraved.

The wildcats I own are engraved. But they aren't secret calibers or anything :)

The caliber does not indicate bullet weight.
It's a TIKKA thing..., you may not understand.

Just ask for a box of Multi caliber and you are GTG.  Kind of like the guy I used to work with who had a pre-64 30-06, but it also shot 270 Win & 308, just not as accurate.

No secrets here. I just never thought it was all that important. Next one I'll stamp, but I'm warning you I'm terrible when it comes to hand stamping stuff.

My days of living dangerously are long gone. Now I just try not to fall down when people are watching.

During the General Season: There is no rifle or handgun caliber limitation for the taking of big game animals.

That can only work in a state filled with ignorant hillbillies. With all the intellectual giants living in Washington they need to plan for all that might go wrong if you give freedom to the commoners of the State. Pretty funny to watch when an "intellectual" is considered a "Commoner" by another "Intellectual".

Anyone that thinks they can legislate away stupidity and lack of common sense likely suffers from the same.

I see. Two-thirds of the hunters surveyed on here don't want the change, but it's WDFW's fault.

Oh, so we need lower recoil to bring in more woman, youth etc. Hunters. 

But didnt you just say this in another thread?

I also 1+ the 243 ,that's all my wife shoots,and because of the low recoil she is really good shot with it , maybe better than me

yes I did say that in another tread,i do follow the laws,even if I don't like them,not all people can say that.I'm not gonna tell another person to buy a 223 for deer when it is not legal,Ya my my wife does use a 243, but would use 223 also if it was legal.If u must no I have also used 243 for deer,but does that make me a bad person cause I want to use223 but can't.
