Have not used either the bullet or the caliber, but have used the Barnes 110 gr. TTSX (b.c 0.377) in my LH Tikka T3 Lite in .270 Win. Loaded to 3400 fps using Re17, it is fast and flat shooting to 600 yds. (longest distance at which I have used it, checking zero during F-Class). I killed a mule deer buck with this load, held for 300 yds. and hit right where I aimed, though deer was actually at 250. Deer took a leap and turned a sumersault and that was that. I have recently started using H4350. Accuracy is better, but I am not able to get quite to 3400 with safe pressure. That is ok, much prefer consistent accuracy. Hope that helps. forepaw

Just got a cc hit for $650. That will be NR archery bull either unit 9 or 7. Whooo hooo. Life is good. forepaw

You go girl! Very cool pics and story. Thanks for posting. With that .338 you weren't going to let anything get away! forepaw

For some reason, tag no. 15 in Area C was cancelled. And 2 were added to Area D. forepaw

Awesome, thank you. forepaw

I have 2 sets of Pentax, an 8x42, and 12.5x50. I don't think you could find new ones in your price range, but you could come close with used or factory refurbished. They are very good optics for what I paid for them. forepaw

I way overestimated the number of applicants. I was thinking 1000 apps. with about a 4.5% success for the Jan. hunt. forepaw

bonecollector, ' Federal has discontinued their factory load using the 110 TTSX at 3400 fps. Not sure why, but the velocity can be duplicated using Re17. forepaw

Howdy dtower, I don't believe that belongs to any cat. They bury their scat pretty effectively. I would guess a big boar javelina (they do feed on carrion occasionally) or alpha male coyote. forepaw

Howdy CW amigos, I plan to hunt the last week of the year in more or less the south end of U27 and my partners have bailed on me. Solo fine, but company fine too. Send reply or pm for more info. forepaw
