Great having both Charlie and Eric on board :D Beers:
 
Hi all, this is my first post on AH. I must admit though I have been lurking for some time! I also called Charlie about planning my first Buffalo hunt in 2018 or 19 and he is indeed a fine fellow to talk to. Extremely helpful. Thanks Charlie I find your posts very enjoyable! I have also enjoyed all the others as well. Thank you all!

Glad to help and welcome to the posting side.
 
Congratulations Charlie and Eric, some real entertaining posts. Dead or graveyard dead :)
 
@CAustin was the first person to reach out to me when I made my first post asking for advice. I appreciate all the help and hope to get to meet you soon.
 
Congrats Charlie. Some folks just don't know how therapeutic AH is for hunters, shooters, outdoorsmen, reloaders etc. etc.

I would love to, but it will have to be the 2019 AH hunt. July is completely out for me this year, looks like end of May in Namibia is where I am headed.
 
Congratulations Charlie!
 
Congratulations to you both.
It shows commitment, dedication and passion for what you love.
Thank you for your input, opinion and time to "be involved in your community".

Hi YancyW,

No real burning need for you to go point-counter-point on the many things I covered in my response about 3 weeks ago, to your Namibia / Khomas Highland Safaris inquiry.
However, I'm just curious if you received my detailed response or, if perhaps I may have messed it up somehow when I hit send or "Post", as I'm not very handy with computers.

Either way, good luck and safe travels.

Cheers,
Velo Dog.

Nope, it was on my end. I typed up a response and it didn't send. PM was sent your way a minute ago.

Edit to add that Velo Dog wrote a very detailed response to my question about his experience, it was again a great resource provided from this site.

Ok, no worries.
I'll have a look.
Cheers.

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.

Have twice tried to post something that your site canned as "SPAM" or some problem.. "Contact the Administrator"... Not sure why even the "Contact" button would not send my comment so you only received my query but not the content in question. I'll see if I can get it to you this way... NOPE I use a VPN and perhaps that is causing me grief...
