I'm new...going on Safari soon. I live in the small town of Dayton Nevada, retired with just a few years of hunting experience. Looking forward to reading up on everything Safari related.
 
Howdy neighbor. I'm in Carson. When and where are you going? Feel free to message me. I'm going on my 5th in September.

I'm going in August to NB Safari in Limpopo.
 
Welcome to AH. So many people willing to help answer your questions. Additionally, the safari planning guide and searching past posts will yield copious amounts of information.
 
Hello and welcome!

Welcome from Minden. Good to see a near neighbor joining us. Enjoy your hunt and take lots of pix to share.
 
Welcome,
I’ve spent a good portion of my life in the great state of Nevada, lived in Paradise north of Winnemucca and Elko chasing gold. Loved every minute there. Some of the best elk hunting in the country too. Cheers,
Cody

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.
