I somehow missed this thread, I’ll try to get photos of my favourites, one of which is a Ted Mitchell, first time I used it I cut myself, another is a Canadian style skinner that I made years ago

@Grumpy gumpy
I have a couple of knives made by Ted. Nice knives that hold a brilliant edge. I was thet happy with mine I had Ted make one for my son. A beautiful Skinner based in the cold steel hunter.
Had him use NitroV steel. When I got it it was that sharp it would cut your eyeballs just looking at it.

What’s better than buying your wife a Benchmade Osborne 9400 automatic? Buy one for yourself. I almost went for the magna-cut stainless but the burnt copper color turned me off. Settled for a twin to my brides. Great everyday carry blade.

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.
