For what its worth-----Shot a large buffalo with a Texas heart shot using my Krieghoff 500/416 using their factory loads(410grn Woodleigh solid) Bullet hit about 6" below rear leg ball socket, broke femur and was recovered in the lungs. Penetration close to 5 feet. B ullet in perfect condition- very impressed

Bwana1, where in Florida are you? I have a Krieghoff 500/416 as well.

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...
