Got add our Jack Russel Terriers to the mix! Love these dogs. Never would have gotten one if we hadn't met Chris Troskie's Mrs Walker!

To boldly go.....

Leave the trails behind...

A hike in trip into the rockies. No trail pack in, pack out. Tough hike but as you can see it was worth the effort.

Cheers,

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.
