I’ve been lurking here for more than a year and find this to be the best resource for hunting Africa. I have “almost” made it there twice, both trips were interrupted by family responsibilities. It’s been my dream to hunt Africa for as long as I can remember. My nickname in grade school was Marlin (Perkins) because that’s all I ever talked about. I’m starting to think that I have lost my window of opportunity, but I remain hopeful to one day put it all together. Thank you to everyone here who contributes to this fine gathering place.

hi sir
your intro sounds like an excuse to me
too many people delay and delay and make excuses
you are obviously a hardworking honest family man, but u also deserve to have your dreams come true
book the hunt and go it really is that simple, just take the plunge

dont mean to offend, you may just need a little push

kind regards

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.:)

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.
