Clients of ours watched this male lion catch a warthog as it came boiling out of its burrow, a spectacular sighting! Certainly not something that one sees everyday!

Hope the lion wasn't charged full trophy fee for an obvious cull animal. :A Shades:

Sadly probably 80% or more of the world thinks this!
 
It was certainly an "Oh crap" moment for the pig

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.

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.
