2nd Annual Battery Oaks Fall Meet and Greet

Turns out I have that Saturday free so I can make it.
I think I would like to leave Fri mid morning and get there early mid afternoon, and come back Sunday sometime.

If anyone wants to carpool from RDU area PM me.

Well, can’t make it. I’m getting home from the Outter Banks on the 19th. Maybe next year.
 
I pulled this quote from @Michael458 from the reloading thread,

"The last several days off and on I have been forming and shooting some 500 MDM. Couple of things has spurred this, one is that Billy has a big Ta Do at his place coming up in October. I figured this year I would donate some rifles and ammo for CFF folks to shoot and play with."

If you were still undecided on whether or not to come, how about this for a reason to be here? This will be something that you will want to be a part of. These B&M Rifles are beautiful to look at and you'll get the opportunity to shoot them. Thanks to Mike for offering this up to everyone. The generosity of some people continue to amaze me.
 
Not quite sure exactly what I am sending over just yet, but I know I want to send a couple of 500 MDM's and some "Fire Form" loads, I would love for all the guys to get all they can stand of 500 MDM and get my brass fire formed at the same time.........

I think one or two of the 50 B&M Alaskan Lever guns............. Probably one of the little bolt guns in Super Short or two....... and a standard B&M bolt gun, 50 or 458 or both...........

Maybe send one of the big Semi Auto guns, or two...... .500 caliber, maybe 458 or both...........???????

?????? Still working on it.....
 
Whoever is coming, what big bore B&Ms would you like to see and shoot?????

You gonna shoot 500 MDM, that is coming, I need that brass fire formed, so you got no choice on that........

But what about other stuff I mentioned?????

Go to the B&M Website, look around and see what you would like to look at, handle and shoot............I will need to send ammo with everything.......

I have some mild stuff loaded in the 500 MDM for you..... I believe there are some 460 Raptors at mid range of 2300 fps, some 525s at 2250 fps, and 375 Raptors at 2600 fps and so forth...........Maybe some 500 Solids at 2450........These guns are heavy, come in at 8.5 lbs...........

Yeah, those 460s at 2300 are pretty mild.......... Puff loads......... just enough to iron the case out nicely.......We can run those to 2500 and change........... Another mild one is the 410s at 2700.......Lighter bullet and all.....

Whatever that beautiful little thumper Billy had last time was something else... Interested in seeing/shooting this monster of yours that tops the Nitro Express...

The only problem with the one last year, the bolt was on the wrong side. It was pretty and had a great trigger.
 
Just got the word from RS. As applies to eats throughout the day. She will be providing Breakfast starting at around 8 am. Sausage, Bacon, and lotsa eggs with plenty of "light bread". She says she will gladly accept any help from visiting ladies. Last year @gunbelt spoiled us with his own bisquits. His son has had the nerve to get married on the 19th so he can't be with us.
We will be deeply dependent on the rest of you for your wonderful ribs, and other meat delicacies and we will be favored again with Randall's ham bog.
Any and all who wish to bring snacks and such are encouraged.
Due to some health issues we probably will not have the 50 BMGs set up this year. We will more than make up for that with several B&M Rifles on hand and plenty of ammo. We will have bolts, levers and semis in the big 50s for all to enjoy. Thanks to @Michael458 for this treat. This will be an experience equal to last years's for shooting the big gun.
As @Chdamn says B&Ms turn cover into concealment.

I will be glad to help Ronnie Sue with whatever needs to be done.
 
No biscuits??? Hmmm... Not sure what the ol' lady will have to say about that. I may have used that to get her on board with the trip... Dang it...

Just heard there will be bisquits. Real ones. RS and @Chdamn's Wife will look like Lucy and Ethel at the chocolate factory.
