I'm down in the garage today Re-loading and counted 50rds of 404 I shot last week, at about $4.00 a shot wholesale thats still $200.00, can't imagine having to pay 10-12 bucks a round retail, I'll finish up with it this week then retire it to the closet til I go back to Africa for Buff

@Rob404, when are you headed back for buff? I am headed to Zim and buff next May and will be carrying the 404.

You are a Lucky SOB, I'm still about 3 years away, unless I marry a Rich women or I win the Lottery
 
I realize I am fortunate to be able to go back so soon. Hang in there though, Rob, your trip will be here before you know it.
 
Very pretty! Similar to 404J I have (built on M70 375H&H stainless action)

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.:)

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.
