Funny thing, I haven't hunted anything yet. Shot a little bit of .22. Hopefully this year going to go for a nice buck. Living on a farm is nice since My Dad has a bush couter about half mile up the road.

Hi Mark and welcome to the forum.
Canada is on the extended bucket list; I have an irrational Newfoundland itch that I want to scratch, possibly because free-range wild Moose and fly-fishing trout and salmon are also on the bucket list.
This is a great forum filled with great people and advice, ask questions, listen carefully and think about the answers. There is a lot of gold to be had here

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.

2,822fps, ES 8.2
This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.

Peterson .280AI brass, CCI 200 primers, 56.5gr of 4831SC, 184gr Berger Hybrid.

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.
