How was the shipping to Canada?

It wasn't bad, going for memory maybe $80 or so? Certainly no worse than shipping from the USA anyway. I buy scope mounts from Slovenia, detachable magazines from the UK, and have bought a custom stock from Australia. All transactions were painless, and no more expensive than buying from the USA. Canadians are just too familiar and focused on our good neighbour to the south, but are unaware there are many other practical options when buying hunting stuff on line.

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.

2,822fps, ES 8.2
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.
