I would like to wish all members, family, and friends Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. The closest I will be getting to hunting over the festive season will be transferring 1953 22 rifle to my son in Melbourne.
This rifle is worth virtually nothing these days that has large sentimental value attached to it. I guess it is a case of starting to handover to the Next Generation.
I will see you online early in the New Year. All the best

Merry Christmas to all here on Africa Hunting. I know, it's a little early, but better than late and for the next couple of days things are going to be busy. I found out you can make snowflakes in the reloading room, now it's time to put this flake to its intended use. Straight Shooting & Good Hunting in the New Year.

Merry Christmas to you and yours!
I am always reminded that this is a WORLD WIDE COMMUNITY.
It is very early Christmas morning for our Kiwi and Aussie members.
Namibians, South Africans, Zambians are thinking about sitting down to Christmas Eve dinner soon.
The guys in the Europe and the UK are leaving the shops from their last minute shopping.
Many North Americans are at the shops or waking up to the day before Christmas.
There have been some serious ups and downs in our community this year and members have been present to assist and support where needed.
Thank you all for your input, support, participation and sharing.
Merry Christmas to you and your family.

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...
