Greetings TallGrassWary,

Khomas Highland Hunting and Fishing Safaris of Namibia, welcomes you to the greatest forum on earth.

When you can spare a minute, I invite you to have a look into the Khomas Safaris website.

Best Regards,

Hey all, just registered and glad I found this site. Never hunted in Africa but my love for the continent was nurtured by tales of Peter Hathaway Capstick that I read in my youth. Thus my user name was inspired from his classic Death in the Long Grass.
Welcome to AH! Hang around enough and this fine group of enablers will have you planning a hunting trip to Africa soon enough.
 
Welcome to the forum. We'll have to chat sometimes...I'm in Pass Christian and my kids are in school in Bay St. Louis.
 
Welcome!

I used to spend quite a bit of time in Columbus and later just outside of Jackson… and spent many a miserable weekend at Camp Shelby way back in the day… great state!

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
Philippe

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.
