I don't think anyone bought it so you might be able to contact the seller and work something out
I did try, but without any active listings, GB prohibits any messages. I did save him as a favorite and will keep any eye out. Many Thanks!
 
I have. I use a Verney Carron , Imperial model. I use handloads. 900gr solids @ 2060f/s. Its pretty effective, but you still need to hit the vitals. Shot 2 elephants with it so far.View attachment 381290View attachment 381292
How often do you practice shooting with the 600? And how many rounds would you put down range in a session? I imagine most of your practice shooting would be done off hand?
 
Yesterday I loaded four boxes for my .600 Wilkes, made in 1914. I shoot 4-10 rounds 1-2x per week and alternate with my 4-bore Rodda.
 
Never fired a big 6..but fired an 8bore in SA. That was a step up compared to my 10bore. Maybe the .600 can be compared to a heavy 8bore recoilwise?..

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.:)

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.
