First crate of dip and pack arrived today. I will post an update once I get a call back from the taxidermist. So far the company has been great to work with. Hopefully the quality of everything is the same.

All well with the crate!
Forgot to update this thread.
I visited South Africa last month, our outfitter @HENRY GRIFFITHS SAFARIS took us to visit Highveld on our way to the airport. It was a great experience. Highveld run a great facility with everything from tanning, mounting, custom crating and shipping are all in one location. Saw some amazing trophies there. Few pictures attached.
Needless to say, trophies from my dad hunts are with them as well and they have been excellent in answering queries and replying promptly.

Oh I don’t think even close, many others the same or much better !
Life Form Taxidermy would be one of the better & Nico Van Rooyen Taxidermy is also top draw !
There are others, I have been to a lot of Taxidermy Work Shops & show rooms, it is a great pity that some have very spotty quality control, right down to shitty boiling & skull prep protocols !

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.

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.

Have twice tried to post something that your site canned as "SPAM" or some problem.. "Contact the Administrator"... Not sure why even the "Contact" button would not send my comment so you only received my query but not the content in question. I'll see if I can get it to you this way... NOPE I use a VPN and perhaps that is causing me grief...
