Leadwood is about 12k acres...if that's where you were with Dieter. There is no internal fencing there...just borders and it's not noticeable or a hindrance to good hunting.

SOUTH AFRICA: Cape Buffalo Hunt West Of Kruger

Doubleplay
AH elite
There are a lot of free range areas in SA but operators does not like hunting them because of low success rates or permit issues.
This morning I drove from Franshoek to Beaufort West and drive trough millions of acres low fence areas some very mountainous challenging terrain.
Congratulations on your buff it’s always a fun hunt.

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.

2,822fps, ES 8.2
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.
