    6.5x284 for pg

    I agree I shot a buck at 100 yards 1/4 away. Bullet exploded on impact. Looked like an exit wound. Yes he died but not happy with the result at all.

    Did you load them or buy ready ammunition? If you loaded them can I have the recipe?

    6.5x284 for pg

    Agreed I will be working up a load with a different bullet. I used the ELDX on my sheep hunt. Also used them for Elk. Took a bull at 100 and at 385 yards.

    1st Safari please help

    Yes if I can afford a Buffalo hunt it would be in the Caprivi. If I just did plains game at a much cheaper price they have another camp. They called it a concession but under your description it is a farm. As it is fenced in. Yes much cheaper but I don’t think it’s what I’m looking for.

    1st Safari please help

    My understanding is if I don’t hunt in Caprivi the other concessions don’t have dangerous game on them. Said I might see a cheetah or Leopard. But no Buffalo, Elaphant, Hippo etc. we’re probably different than most people as in it is not about just shooting a trophy. We want the whole safari...
