Hi Gents/Ladies

My name is Michael (MikeTango ;)). A brief background of my history with firearms:
- Introduced to shooting and hunting since the age of 5 by my father.
- First deer I hunted was at the age of 7 (Springbok)
- Since then I have hunted around 12 different furred game animals for a total of 84 kills to date, all of which we process and make our household meat from.
- Father gave me my first rifle when I turned 18 (.270 Musgrave 24" sporter barrel)
- Started in the realm of reloading at the age of 21 (10 years ago) im the pursuite of better accuracy etc.
- After 8 years of shooting my standard 270 win Musgrave I re-barreld with a 28" 1:8 wist heavy varmit contour to be able to gain more velocity and stability from higher BC bullets for long range shooting.
- I compete in monthly local hunting orientated and long range competitions with my 1:8 wist 270 win to push the limits of the cartridge.
- I would like to share my experience throughout my testing and hunting with different loading techniques and result on a variety of bullets like 140 gr Berger, 145 gr ELDX, 140 gr TMK, 165 gr ABLR, 175 gr TMK.
 
Greetings Mike Tango,

Khomas Highland Hunting and Fishing Safaris of Namibia, welcomes you to the greatest forum on earth.

I have in past years done a bit of hunting in N. America with the .270 Winchester caliber.
It is a good “long shooter”.

Best Regards,
Velo Dog.
 
Hi Velo Dog

Many thanks for the welcome, I am a newbie in the online posting world.

Are you from Nam and went out to only hunt in N America? Sounds awsome.

What ammo did you use? Did you manage to get your trophy?

Regards
MikeTango

Good Morning x84958
I have read your post about Jamy Traut and your hunt in Caprivi. I am planning such a hunt for 2026, Oct with Jamy.
Just a question , because I will combine Caprivi and Panorama for PG, is the daily rate the same the week long, I mean the one for Caprivi or when in Panorama it will be a PG rate ?
thank you and congrats for your story.
Best regards
Philippe from France
