Newbie to forum

Welcome! Certainly glad to have you here with us!
 
Welcome to the family and the forum.
 
Welcome to AH
 
Hello all, I joined tonight. Done a couple big safaris in africa, 2 crazy fun dove shoots in Argentina, lots of white tail and mule deer, turkey and quail, etc. One caribou hunt in far north Canada. A bear hunt of a lifetime in North Carolina last year (going again this year!)
Looking to do more Africa hunts, next one in May focused on cape buffalo. Want to do red stags, maybe Argentina? Headed to Safari Club International annual convention in Nashville this week. See u there!

Welcome to the Forum; if I had to pick only one show to go to for the year, I would choose SCI! You'll have a ton of fun and meet plenty of good outfitters. Happy Hunting

Hi EarlT
We can certainly help you with a quality buffalo hunt in South Africa.
We are also at the SCI convention is Nashville (Booth 1654) so stop by anytime for a drink and a chat.
I have hunted in Argentina 7 times and can give you some pointers in the right direction for red stag.
Have fun and see you later.
Sincerely
Hans de Klerk

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.
