South Africa 2018 & 2019 - once more a fantastic trip with PH Izak Vos and Vos Safaris

Just wanted to post shortly some impressions about my once more and again fantastic hunting trip to South Africa in August 2018 and 2019.
Once again, after our tremendous bowhunts the years before I was hunting with PH Izak Vos from Vos Safaris in the North-West, Limpopo and Free State province in South Africa and got magnificient impressions, useful experiences, hide sessions and great stalks.
Many thanks to the amazing experience of my professional hunter I could harvest some outstanding animals and trophies.
A magnificient Blue Duiker, Red Duiker, Klipspringer, Suni and Sharpe´s Grysbok as well as a Cape Bushbuck, Tsessebe and Common Lechwe.
If someone is interested to hunt with Vos Safaris in South Africa please take a look here:

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.
