Howdy all, I am a hunter now, learning and trying to shoot long distances. For me, 500 Yards would be great.

Hello danielstimothy,
Khomas Highland Hunting Safaris of Namibia, welcomes you to the greatest forum on earth.
Tell us a bit about your rifles and sighting equipment.
If war breaks out (as it does from time to time) and you are a long range shooter of note, indeed you could be quite valuable.
I used to live where ground squirrels were a large problem for farmers.
There I learned to hit the little crop wreckers at distance.
My favorite rifle for rodents was then the .220 Swift and 55 grain Sierra flat base spitzers @ a little over 2800 feet per second.
My scope was a vintage fixed power 10x Leupold with fine crosswires and target dot.
For game animals, such as what Africa has to offer plus what’s available here in N. America, I have practiced much for stalking in close to my quarry and using round nosed bullets, at slow to moderate velocity.
Best Regards,
Velo Dog

Welcome to AH
Welcome! Curious why 500 yards? 500 yards and Africa really don’t go together. Good luck!

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!
