Very cool and welcome! Where in Kansas do you live? Born and bred Jayhawk here although I’ve now lived in Texas longer than Kansas. I’m fairly new to the forum myself and planning my first African Safari as well.
It’s a great forum, very friendly and helpful people, and every single piece of information you could need is available here.

Welcome to AH. We have a good Safari Club chapter over in KC. Our annual banquet and fundraiser is coming up this weekend at the Overland Park Convention Center. Hope to see you there during the show perhaps.

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.

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.
