That was a 308. I ccould send you a pic of the 223 though.
 
nice....
excuse my ignorance ,but how many in the clip ?
 
308 I have 2 10 round and 2 20 round, I will be posting photos of the targets soon. my 223, just more than a few.
 
BTW - last year, on one of the usual hunting shows, there was an episode in which the shooting sticks provided by the outfitter appeared to be three 2x4 s bolted together. Seriously? That might be OK for a jury-rigged solution to use at the range but not in Africa with clients who are paying thousands of dollars for their hunt. How much is the outfitter really saving. As others have suggested, just get some bamboo sticks and tie them together.
 
Easy to make. Just follow the directions! :)

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.
