Who are you guys using in Houston to clear your taxidermy into the country ?
 
Noatum logistics and Procargo.
 
Same as RLL above, all arranged by Conroe Taxidermy. My crate is due in Houston in about 3 days.

I use Procargo
 
Pro Cargo is Fantastic !!!! Cindy will take great care of your trophies.

I've used Coppersmith a couple of times near IAH and always had a good experience.

Coppersmith is who I use now. They have their own staff and warehouses so there is less risk of getting stuck paying airport storage fees. Nothing is perfect. Trophy shipping is always a pain and very expensive.

I’m using Coppersmith, have a shipment being sent out next week with EMIAC. Can’t wait to have it home!
 
I used pro cargo last year from Zambia to Houston and thing went very well.
 
I just requested a quote from Coppersmith in Houston. Thanks for all the feedback !

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.

Rifle is a Pierce long action, 32" 1:8.5 twist Swan{Au} barrel

Peterson .280AI brass, CCI 200 primers, 56.5gr of 4831SC, 184gr Berger Hybrid.

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.
