Bwana1, where in Florida are you? I have a Krieghoff 500/416 as well. Peter. Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong; | |||

Woodleigh solids are certainly a well proven bullet..I have used them many times in the 404, 416 Rem, 450-400s, 505, and a few others, all with perfect results.. on one elephant and many buffalo. Woodleighs are certainly field proven by many hunters and PHs... Ray Atkinson Atkinson Hunting Adventures 10 Ward Lane, Filer, Idaho, 83328 208-731-4120 rayatkinsonhunting@gmail.com | |||
