Guy's thanks for the reply. I finally got through to Barns and got info on the loads they recommend using IMR 4831. Barns suggests loads ranging 53 - 56.5 gr for the 140 gr bullet. I'm loading some rounds this week so I'm going to try 55 gr of IMR. I'll bring my chrono to the range and check the muzzle velocity. I also picked up some Hornady's 130 GR SST's. Have any of you guys tried these? Is fragmentation excessive? Regards, PJM

Guys, I'm a new member and new to the sport. My tag is for unite 35a. I went out this weekend with my hunting partner and scouted Parker Canyon north of the lake. We saw tons of tracks and droppings near the creek that runs into the lake. We also glassed for several hours and no deer! Is anyone familiar with Unite 35a and willing to give a newbie some advice? Thanks, PJM

Guy's, I can't say how awsone you've been giving me good advice. The current BINO's I have is a set to Nikon's I don't know the specs. My hunting partner has a set of the Vortex 15X. I used them last weekend.. and WOW they're nice. Yes I'd like a set of 15 x 56 Swarovskis but the Mrs. does not see that one in the budget. I'm trying to make it down South one more time before opening day. Hope to see alot more then Havalina traks and/or signs of UDA.

Total quess: 128 1/2

Guy's, Thank You for the quick replies. Yes I'm also worried that the area will be over run with hunters. Is there another place I should be checking out? What about Bishop Tank and Hear Tank on the West side of parker canyon?? Thanks, PJM
