I've got the feeling that a Woodleigh is better suited for buff and other african game because it has quicker and greater expansion.Since your first shot should be a soft and is usually a shot to the vitals,why use a tough A-frame?

I cut open a Woodleigh and it is made of a cupro colored metal like those hard Hornady's in brassy colored jacket.
I prefer the TXS for expansion and destruction of tissue while traveling through the animal.

IMO, You could flick a coin, for ether bullet is great in 45cal on up for Buff.

There is no wrong choice among those two bullets. They're both great.

I use the Swift A-Frame but either will get the job done.

I agree that either the Swift A-Frame or Woodleigh would easily work, but I'm slightly partial to the A-Frames - I've used them on brown bear, buffalo & eland with EXCELLENT results.

Both are excellent bullets for buff. This past August, I did a Australian cow buff cull with Hunt Australia. Used a 375 H&H. It was recommended that I use Barnes X type bullets. I loaded up a box with the old Barnes X 270 gr. bullets. I was never a big fan of the Barnes since experiencing marginal results using smaller caliber bullets on deer sized animals.

Due to my skepticism, I also brought along Hornady Interlocks and Nosler Partitions. Much to my amazement, I was able to get 14 consecutive one shot kills with the Barnes. Recovered bullets looked like those in the magazine advertisements with the perfect 4 petal expansion. All cows were shot in the boiler room.

My buddy was using a 460 Weatherby with assorted bullets, but no Woodleigh or A-frames. His knockdown results were quite impressive, including the big trophy bull he took. He was using Noslers, Hornady, and 450 gr. Barnes.

I have found Woodleigh softs too soft for heavy game in my 500 Nitro.

Don't forget there are actually two different Woodleigh softs. There's the SP and the PSP and both behave very differently from each other.

Of those two bullets, the PSP is a better option for Buff.

As to choosing between the Woodleigh PSP and the Aframe, either are fantastic bullets on Buffalo and I'd suggest you load a few of each and see which groups better in your particular rifle and then go with that.

With Woodleighs, it's especially important to pay strict attention to what it says on the box with regards to velocity.

The Woodleigh SP incidentally, is a fantastic cat bullet.

This is very important.Most premium bullets perform just fine After BULLET PLACEMENT.I have a leaning towards the barnesX.but some guys complain about grouping.so get the bullet that groups the best
