Yeah, don’t wish to share a room with these.They say python tastes like salty chicken
And spider make a nice crunch when stepped on.
Hunting during the heat of the year has it's special challenges. looking forward to the rest of your report.
Stepped on lots of spider and jumped on one tonight after Afternoon Shift with my socks on. Just a garden spider but so I don’t know why it was in the kitchen.
The strange part was it did not crunch, it kinda just looked like a wet spot on the tiles. Socks are in the wash and the rest is history

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.
