Hello and thanks for your warm welcome! I am a lifelong sportsman however I have yet to hunt anywhere in Africa. I've read through this site several times a week and decided to join today. Perhaps I can gain and share knowledge from members, and score/sell some prized items as well. Cheers!
 
Welcome aboard!!!
 
Thank you! I hunted hogs until moving North after hurricane Katrina. Now I have plenty whitetail opportunities every season. It's time for me to start looking for new adventures.
 
Welcome - It's a great community with lots of people willing to offer expert advice. Do you know what you'll want to hunt first?
 
Colorado elk or moose in Newfoundland I think. I'm getting tugged in plenty directions!

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.
