I got my hands on the bullet I wanted from the start, the 300 grain Peregrine VRG-3.

Anyone loaded these ? I was told they have less friction than a Barnes.

Sure are Purdy

I loaded a few in one of my 30 cals, can't remember which. They were very accurate and was going to play with more. But the local dealer that carried them never seemed to get any in. I tried to work with him and get some of the ones I was interested in ordered. But to no avail, I even offered to pay for them up front. So I gave up on them at that point.

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.
