I now own TrapperEricks old 8x68S and am looking for some load ideas. I have a ton of 200 gr speers and 185 Core Lokts for it. I have lots of powder options but if o could use only 8# jug of Win 760 all the better.

I have a load simulating program called QuickLoad. Just for giggles I worked up a load based on a few guesses. Winchester 760 will work. I'd like to see if an 8 X 68 owner has some first-hand knowledge / loading data for you, but if not let me know and I'll be willing to help out.

Good morning,
Did you hunt w Leeuwkop at their ranch or in Zimbabwe? The ranch looks awesome, but I'll be in Zimbabwe for buffalo and whatever else we dig up.
What did you hunt for?
Vaccines?
What rifle did you use?
I feel like I need a good cotton safari shirt and an ammo belt to make the hunt feel right!
How often did you shoot prior to going?
Did you use sticks for shooting practice?
