My sample size is one as well. One shot, a 20 yard retreat, and a death bellow. I was bracing for sooo much more.
 
I'm shooting a Winchester Model 70 Safari Express.
Just wondered because your first shot is at 0:08 seconds and rattle off a total of four by 0:13 seconds. That's some quick reloading until I realize you edited the video.

I only cut the time of set up and the time after the last shot. All four shots were shot in +- 5 seconds.

I was working that bolt very hard, never lifted my head of the stock, keeping my eye in line with the scope. With a little practice, everybody can do it.

I'm not doubting you, but I've never seen anyone get off 4 shots (with accuracy) in 7 seconds with a 375H&H Win M70. Did you happen to set up another camera showing you working the bolt? Love to see that.

No but as soon as I got another charge from a jug of windshield washer, I'll do it. ;)

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.

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.
