I will be there Friday morning. I just bought a 8ga hammer gun from a member. I will pick it up and be shooting it for the first time Friday morning. I did already have 50 Track of the Wolf brass 8ga. 3 1/4" Shells and an original Parker 8 gauge caper.

Looking forward to being part of the 8 gauge club and the shoot on Friday morning.

As for loads, I am getting to work with 2 different recipes: I am going to try: 5 1/2 drams of 2F and 1 3/4oz and 6drams of 2F and 2oz of shot. It's a heavy 7 frame gun...I can't wait!

You’re priming with large rifle primers or large rifle magnum primers ?

I think you’ll be the only guy shooting BP in that event! Did you’re there Sunday, shoot the BP event with that gun. I think it begins at 1:00? We’ll probably be on the road already so I may bring some of my BP shells just in case we’re still there.
