Change the 24 caliber min in washington(added poll please vote)
bobcat:
They wouldn't need to specify what type of bullets would be legal. They don't now, why would that be necessary if the law was changed from 243 to 223 being the minimum legal caliber? I'd be fine with that change, but only for deer. It's a great caliber for kids, whether it's a 223 Remington, 22/250, 224 Weatherby, or 223 WSSM.
I have a 223 WSSM that would be perfect for my kids to hunt deer with. I've used it in Wyoming on both deer and antelope. A 65 grain bullet at 3,400 feet per second works very well.

Pretty happy here with the law we have regarding legal calibers on big game. :twocents:

because my deer tags are either Archery or Muzzle Loader. Which means I cannot carry a legal deer caliber rifle to coyote hunt during deer season. Its in the rule book

I would support the use of a .224 firing a 165 at 3,400 fps any day. Problem is, we both know there would be no regulation on grain bullet and fps/ft lbs-sec. Can you imagine a "legal" hunter firing 55 fmj during a modern season? LOL
bobcat:
I suppose they could make it a 65 grain minimum. Or 60 grain, I think that's the way it is in Wyoming.
