Some interesting observations and set up in regards to the equipment used in SA at the long distance shooting ranges. Please feel free to join in regards to the muzzle velocity, type of bullets, barrels , rifle scopes depict in these results .. I really like to discuss trends and these components used here in relation to hunting long range distances on the African plains where you really are able to make long range shots on eland, blue wildebees, oryx blesbuck,

Now look at the reloading performance of the 8x68S and you will see as the standard velocities and capabilities it can run there in front with all these new modern high end shooting components depicted in this chart `s results

It would be great if a member can punch in the numbers in their reloading program and use a 90mm over all length of the 8x68S round to see what difference in muzzle velocity is between the 86mm and 90mm over all length of a 8x68S round..I am sure with a standard 8x68 and a high end scope you will be standing shoulder to shoulder with these expensive shooting set ups in this result sheet.

+1 Great to deal with. I purchased custom rifle. No issues.

I saw you were looking for some Swift A-Frames for your 9.3. I just bought a bulk supply of them in the 285g. version. If Toby's are gone, I could let 100 go for $200 shipped you are interested.
Thanks,
Gary
