I have been invited on a plains game hunt in South Africa in 25. I have an older friend who has been many times to Africa hunting and he would like me to accompany him. My wife and I discussed it and so I’m off to Africa, somewhere I never thought I would hunt. I’m an avid turkey, duck and deer hunter. I have done quite a bit of traveling around the world in my misspent youth but it’s been awhile and I have never stepped foot in Africa. I’m here to learn about the game species, firearms and the general experience overall. Thank you.

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.
