Hi All,

Just joined…and just finished my first trip to Africa (east cape South Africa). It was better than I could have imagined. Already dreaming about the next trip.

28 Nosler was a great match for the plains game I hunted.

Now to get the animals back home for the taxidermy work. Thanks to everyone on this site…great info that helped me pick a taxidermist and broker!

It was awesome. Went with Dave Davenport at Leopards Valley (about 3 hours north of Port Elizabeth).

Welcome! Looks like a wonderful trip!
I look forward to reading your report on the performance of the 28! I almost took mine last April, but she is a heavy girl and didn’t make weight.

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.

Rifle is a Pierce long action, 32" 1:8.5 twist Swan{Au} barrel

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.
