Hunt Report – Congratulations and thank you to John (USA) who successfully hunted 2 of the big 5 five with me recently, this beautiful Lion & awesome Buffalo Bull plus adding a buff cow (selected from a herd with loads of cows with calves) to it as well. We had great walking and stalking on them all in the Kalahari, South Africa. We also managed to ‘solve some of the world’s problems’ with a few cold beers around the campfire at night, haha!

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.

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.
