Sunset over the mountains to end a great day hunting!
 
The area looks a lot different with lots of green leaves on the trees! Keep the pictures coming Ben!
 
Nice sunset pic!
 
Time to light this one up again
 
I really must do a report about the lion hunt. I will start with that soon.
 
I am sure that would get the community talking
 
Great hunt Ben.
 
That's a really fast turn around from first hearing about the outfitter and then going on the hunt. You sure don't mess around!
 
It helps if the outfitter has been in the industry for years and known for quality dangerous game hunts, and also has a good reputation...

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.
