Most importantly, I've settled on the gats for the trip, Making their debuts in anger, Parker 34" 2 7/8" chambered A4 CHE 12 on its rather petite #2 frame, the Parker 36" D2 GH 10 #3 frame and "for avoidance of doubt" as we lawyers say, my new best friend, the Ithaca 32" NID 10g 3 1/2" Magnum with factory Miller trigger and ejectors. I have hand loaded some 3" 10g with Mr. Bell's loads for 1 3/8oz #5 Bismuth (I had to use IMR 4756 because I was out of E.C.

) and I have plenty of #4 Federal 1 3/4oz T-P for the Big Ten. The CHE will be fed by factory Bismaxx 2 3/4" 1 3/8oz of #5...I am ready for the big water...ready...
