And the trail cam photos start

According to my PH he's a monster and very dangerous? This will be a difficult male to keep on bait but at least we know he is around right now... Wish this were a day before departure... Anyway
 
That's a big cat!!! Seems like he doesn't like the camera...should be fun sneaky out in the dark with that guy in the Bush :)
 
He's a brute all right! My PH says he's a cocky SOB. Praying I have a shot at that monster.
 
Best of luck Johnny! We will be rooting for you. Good luck and shoot straight.

. Went to the range last weekend, 8-9 mph crosswind. Made a 1/2 inch adjustment on this. My 300wsm I believe is ready. Hopefully I am.
 
Thanks for the encouragement! lol...
 
You made a lovely rosette. Leopard on the mind?

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...
