I realize the iPhone rules the "camera" world these days, however, for people who still enjoy classic photography and seeing their hunt through a proper camera, I wanted to mention the Fuji X-T2 (XT series). After years of trying to get my head around (unsuccessfully) mainstream, hi-tech, LCD screen, DSLR's I found the Fujifilm mirrorless APS-C compact system about 6 months ago. While Fujifilm have all kinds of modern hi-tech models, they also remain committed to offering their XT series (up to X-T5 now) as a reference to the old film camera days. I grew-up with AE1's, K1000's and finally Nikon F4S's. This camera has the metal body build quality of those classic film cameras along with intuitive, physical dials vs endless computer screens to scroll through. Their film simulation modes and prime lenses are fabulous also. Best of all, for hunters/outdoorsmen, the camera and most of their better lenses are weather sealed/resistant. No, it's not a Leica Q, but it's the same general vibe and the image-lens quality is very very good.

It's a standout piece for people who enjoy using quality kit.

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.:)

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.
