    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.

    Have twice tried to post something that your site canned as "SPAM" or some problem.. "Contact the Administrator"... Not sure why even the "Contact" button would not send my comment so you only received my query but not the content in question. I'll see if I can get it to you this way... NOPE I use a VPN and perhaps that is causing me grief...

    Many thanks for re formatting my article for the forum

    I served my time in both the bush and during the bush war

    I hope it did it justice

    Education is where it is at - without it the wild places are history

    You - sir - are well placed to make a difference

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
