Next up is a black wildebeest from Mark's safari. I am still working on his kudu and Eland custom floor pedestal/base.

Nice!
 
Looks awesome Erik, Mark showed me this last night!
 
Looking good brother!
 
There is so much to like about this. I love the eyes, though.
I love wildebeest. They are my favorite plains game animal. Niassa is my favorite followed by black wildebeest. Common blues are beautiful too and so is the cookson’s.

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
Philippe

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.
