1 of 13. Can you tell us about the double you are holding and the loads you used
Thanks

It is a Lawn and Alder 450-400 3 1/4" NE. The loads going by memory were IMR 4831 80gr for Swift A frames, and 83gr for Barnes TSX? solids.
I obtained the rifle last year after returning from my first safari last year. Was told that if I were to return again that I must bring a double rifle . Interesting side note it is one of the doubles on the DVD "Use enough death".

All these pictures are making me think I might need another one. A lot of handsome old boys!

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.:)

2,822fps, ES 8.2
This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.

*PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS FOR MY RIFLE, ALWAYS APPROACH A NEW LOAD CAUTIOUSLY!!*
Rifle is a Pierce long action, 32" 1:8.5 twist Swan{Au} barrel
{You will want a 1:8.5 to run the heavies but can get away with a 1:9}
Peterson .280AI brass, CCI 200 primers, 56.5gr of 4831SC, 184gr Berger Hybrid.

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.
