Elephant Charge Compilation...

Well, those are up close and personal.
It reminds of watching bluff charges from bears, the only thing I can relate.
I hope to never run into a Grizzly that big though.

I have that one recorded on my DVR, I must have watched it a thousand times on the 50" plasma screen. I think my 5 year old could recite the narration word for word if i turned the sound off.
Ivan is such a professional, to say the first shot was not quite right when it was about a foot off proves that. I get so cranked up watching his videos I'll spend the rest of the day looking at double rifles and applying for home equiety loans. I can taste the dust!!!

I just watched this with my 9 year old daughter and I looked over and her eyes were bigger than mine, She thought it was "cool" and asked if Ivan was scared, I assured her that Ivan is a pro and know what he doing.

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.

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...
