Craig: I give Mike K credit for holding a 8 gauge event but at present the number of shooters is very small. Collector interest in 8's is pretty strong but many don't shoot their 8's because ammunition is unavailable and many don't want to pursue reloading.
The more we promote the 8 gauge through the Facebook page and at shooting events the more interest will grow. Hopefully, RST will decide to load 8's, that would be a game changer in my opinion.

You are correct and to cut down on domestic disagreements I don’t do FB anymore .

RST told me not long ago the only thing holding them up on bringing a 8 gauge load to market was supply shortages and hopefully by next year things would improve and they could get them out .
