I guess we should have a couple of extra dozen eggs for your breakfast along with five pounds of bacon and a couple of loaves of bread, a whole hog for lunch, and a slow-roasted steer for supper?  Shall we make the tea in a five gallon bucket or a 55 gallon drum?  Ed

If Blue was coming, I'd get home to stop by and I'd give em to him. Btw James shot a middlin' size hog on his place last evening with his .35 Whelen. DIL told me now he can finish her sausage he was promising!

I'm sure hoping Blue can make it! Haven't heard a word out of Brother Bart or some of the other folks who weren't able to make it last year, either. I guess I'll have to PM them with a personal invite. Ed

That would be great! The folks that have been doing the cooking have been bringing most of their own stuff to cook with and we have several large pans available including a new cast iron Dutch oven and Wtxj left his large cast iron dutch oven here last year. I also have a cast iron griddle that fits on a gas burner. tex n cal left a nice ceramic frying pan here also, last year, and it needs to be broken in properly. I guess the most critical utensil(s) would be large serving spoons, spatula(s), and serving forks. Ed ,

Well the Campfire Hog Hunt is in late March, which should generate plenty of sausage for the Gathering  Went to the range today. At 100 yards the best 3 shot group from the Shiloh beat the best from the .300 Weatherby  Which is encouraging for the Shiloh, and damned annoying for the Roy I did try some Reloader 26 in the Roy, with 210 grain Long Range Accubonds. I wasn't happy with the accuracy, but they certainly were going faster than Nosler says they will.

The first load I tried in my Sharps is slightly better than MOA with iron sights at both 300 meters and 400 meters. Tough for my Model 700 in .30-06 to better that.
Can't wait for the Gathering!

Uff I think you may outshoot me. I did at least get a load that is extremely consistent on velocity. Now I think the rest is learning to shoot it. What front sight are you using?
