How many?  All that will fit. :chuckle:

Although there is no round count, they do look at your type of round.
I have had chats with LEO's that commented you can't use full metal jacket bullets, ie: SKS/AK to hunt with.
I can't find anything about that, but it is on their minds.

Last I looked WA required 'Soft Point-Designed to Expand Point" bullets


Hmm?  can't find that now??


I don't recall that.  When was that the case??

When I first thought about trying to hunt in the mid 90's the rules said only bullets with a tip designed to expand/mushroom...

Thank you that means I can get a removable mag for my sks and make those coyotes pay...  :guns:

Try being a better shooter instead, it's reckless to just open fire with a mag full of ammo and chase coyotes with it, not to mention irresponsible. Maybe a nice single shot rifle would get you into the right state of mind for real hunting instead of the Rambo'ish attitude  :dunno:

If that is reckless and irresponsible, then what would this be?

Now, I can tell ya for sure those things can and have happened. Heck once I shot a bird in flight about 100 yards up with my 25-06 and I had two witnesses, no one else will believe it, but it's actually very true. Another time I shot a duck in mid-flight over a pond about 5 feet off the water with a 22 lever gun.

Reckless, irresponsible, and Rambo'ish.

There you have it folks, get a single shot rifle and do some "real hunting"...anything more is just all of the above.

Falfire, you continue to amaze me.



The thing that it could be useful for is if you do pest control for a farmer and he wants the pack gone from his land, so there is one use, and there is a difference between pest control, and hunting morally and in action, but by law the line is blurred so that's where I wanted to know. And by the way if I go deer hunting I will never have more then 5 rounds in the rifle anyway... if you cant hit it on the 2nd or 3rd shot you shouldn't be hunting anyway...
but what if the deeris 7 or 800 yards out and running i might need more then 3 rounds

If you can't get an ethical shot off you shouldn't take the shot.  That's my view on it.
