Any info on companies that can make things from ele skin panels would be appreciated. I’ve got two and also both rear feet. Also got my ivory but have a plan for it. Thanks!
 
There are several custom boot and leather workers in Texas that can make something with them.

Ideas for the panels Boots, Belt, Wallet, Gun Case, Briefcases, Duffel Bag, etc

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.
