Good afternoon. Last year I bought this fine Hollis jones underlever, hammer 577BPE from Cal Pappas. The bore are mint and it shoots extremely well. The barrel bluing is very good and the stock carry's a lifetime of small experiences. My only reason for selling this fine double is my recent safari taxidermy bill and the cost of building our trophy room quote came in higher than I expected so something has to go down the road to a new owner. While in my care I took her back to africa and let her hunt again. The LOP is 14 3/8, I will also include the fitted leather Galco recoil pad that adds 3/4 in LOP if the new owner wants. Also included is 63 rounds of loaded ammo 650gr woodleigh and 650gr hawk bullets. 22 rounds f primed brass, reloading dies and Woodleigh and hawk bullets. I will include the load data that the rifle regulates these bullets with. First $9800 and I will include shipping.

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

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.
