Hello Edward, and thanks for the kind comments on my taxidermy work, the scimitar-horned oryx was taken on the northmillranch, texas.

Yes, Edward. If I wrote it, that's what I said, and that's what I use. Lightly spray onto clean, white towel, and go over the mount with the direction of the hair/fur.
Thank you Edward
It was a tough climb and stalk but he handled it well.
Hi Edward,
Thanks for that.
Sorry I didn't see your friendly comment sooner.
But, I had not looked into my photos very much lately.
I looked up your profile and learned that you and your wife are handgun hunters.
Unfortunately I cannot claim the same status for myself.
However, I can understand why you find it appealing / more challenging than hunting with a rifle.
Cheers,
Velo DogYou did a fine job on the buffalo Edward.. I would be interested to know the ballistics on your 45-70. I was shooting a 385 gr. solid brass bullet at 1840 fps. in the 500. I was 66 at the time. -

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.

2,822fps, ES 8.2
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.
