Bill,

Thanks for the excellent photos.

It looks like you picked up some grass in the rumen on those bullets! Amazing detail.

Bill C,



I would have to say that your bullets seem to have performed in typical Woodleigh fashion. Practically, every single 0.505" or 0.510" Woodleigh I have ever recovered looked like that. Heavy bone or lots of flesh, did not seem to matter a great deal. Great bullet in my opinion, and there is no need for any other.



Excellent photographs, by the way.

Bill,
My .416 Remington likes the Barnes Solids and XLC's better and shoots them within an inch of each other. These were recovered from my first buffalo. The second XLC in the photo took the bull at the point of the shoulder quartering on and was recovered in the opposite hindquarter. The two solids were up the bum going away and were cut out against the skin in the dewlap. The first XLC came out of a quartering away shot on a sable bull.

Bill,
I only recovered one bullet from my cow. I took a frontal brain shot as the cow began to rush us. The bullet traveled through the skull, penetrating the brain and lodged in the cervical, spinal column. Needless to say the old girl dropped in her tracks. The bullet fared very well and I was very impressed with the performance. Below is the bullet along with a target to show the accuracy these bullets are capable of. At $5.00 a round, I stopped after burning $10.00.

Every Barnes solid I ever recovered looked just like those. If it weren't for rifling marks you could load them again.
