  • 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.:)
    *PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS FOR MY RIFLE, ALWAYS APPROACH A NEW LOAD CAUTIOUSLY!!*
    Rifle is a Pierce long action, 32" 1:8.5 twist Swan{Au} barrel
    {You will want a 1:8.5 to run the heavies but can get away with a 1:9}
    Peterson .280AI brass, CCI 200 primers, 56.5gr of 4831SC, 184gr Berger Hybrid.
    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.
    Have twice tried to post something that your site canned as "SPAM" or some problem.. "Contact the Administrator"... Not sure why even the "Contact" button would not send my comment so you only received my query but not the content in question. I'll see if I can get it to you this way... NOPE I use a VPN and perhaps that is causing me grief...
    I am 83 yrs old and won't be hunting Africa or Alaska again. Help selling dangerous game rifles. Text at [redacted] if interested. These rifles are available:
    Butch Searcy Double 470 NE Once fired not ready for my elephant hunt. Like new condition.
    Ruger Safari bolt action 458 Lott. Like new condition.
    Winchester Model 70 375 H&H. Excellent condition.
    Can you advise me to properly post pix, sometimes I get it right sometimes not

    Hi @raamw, Just drag and drop any images directly into your posts and they will upload automatically.
    Many thanks for re formatting my article for the forum

    I served my time in both the bush and during the bush war

    I hope it did it justice

    Education is where it is at - without it the wild places are history

    You - sir - are well placed to make a difference

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
