Wish you the best of luck, Caddman !
 
You are only permitted to fly with 5kgs of ammo.
 
Do you need the trigger locks?

Not by Canadian Law as long as gun case is locked but some of our Canadian Airlines insist on them and many of our LEOs aren't aware of the regulations either and figure you need them. I just find it's easier to use them.
 
I'll be willing to bet that the airlines scale will put you over 50 lbs.

I did the same thing and my bag came in at 47 lbs on my home scale, the airlines scale said 52 lbs with nothing added except for the luggage tag.

Have a safe trip and good shooting.
Those luggage tags are made of lead perhaps?
 
Good travels caddman!
 
Oh my jealous light is blinking!!!

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.
