Thats got to hurt! No wonder they can absorb so much punishment (lead).
World's most popular community & resource for hunting in Africa since 2007

Here are a couple of bruisers I've posted on recent hunt reports. The lower one is 48" because we put a tape on him...tried to get the other guy and he was like a ninja. He's still on the mountain. Second photo is him also. Photos do not do him justice. He is stunning...actually made my heart jump when I saw him.
Here's a couple from my recent trip to SA, we also watched this pair fight for about 10 minutes, they were in a clearing that acted sort of like a boxing ring, you could hear their horns clashing from 500 yards away.

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.
