Greetings TrapperErick,
Khomas Highland Hunting Safaris of Namibia, welcomes you to the greatest forum on earth.
I’ve barely heard of and so do not know much about the 6.5x68 cartridge.
Presumably it is in the general category of the USA .264 Winchester Magnum ?
Anyway, as 6.5 cartridges go, I am quite fond of the 6.5x55 Mauser, 6.5 Swede, 6.5 Scandinavian or whatever catchy name people want to call it.
6.5 MM cartridges are not well suited to the larger animals of Africa.
However, for the lesser antelopes and warthog, I believe it would be a real peach.
Best Regards,
Velo Dog.

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!
