I added a couple of critters and FINALLY (after 30 years!) rocked the bottom of the wall...both inside and outside!

Great looking wall there. Congrats on some great animals to remember your hunts by. Thanks for sharing.
 
VERY nice. Good job.

That wall looks great
 
Very Nicely done.
I had to zoom in on the shadow thinking it was a shelf. That when I seen how you extended the wall out to position the elk on the wall.

I'm going to steal that idea to reposition my kudu.
 
What you need is more bushbuck!!
Really looks great!
I agree!
The one on the left is a Chobe, top right is a Cape, and bottom right is a Limpopo.

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.:)

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.
