Hi Guys, Thought I'll share a pic of the bullet used over the weekend on a Blue wildebeest, recovered under the skin on the shoulder. 250gr Woodleigh PPSN @ 2500 ft/s MuzzleV, target @ 140Y. Broadside through the scapula, top of heart destroyed. Weight retained 237gr= 95% and almost 3x caliber expansion. Wildebeest dropped after 15y. Cheers Johan [URL=  ]250gr Woodleigh PPSN[/URL] | ||

Great for biltong (meat cured by salting and drying) similar to your jerky and Dried wors (Dried sausage). Steaks not to bad either! Cheers Johan | |||

I've only recovered two but they both looked similar. I like the Woodleigh Weldcore PP a lot and think it is only equaled by a Northfork. Nosler Partitions are close and cheaper. | |||

Great bullets the Woodleigh. Has become my favourite in both 35 Whelen and 308 Winchester. I also used Woodleigh (250 grs RN) in my 338 Winmag in South Africa in 2008 and dug this one out of a waterbuck, 83 % weight retention. One of the few I actually have recovered.   Arild Iversen. | |||

Used them on most plainsgame as well as buffalo, Hippo, and Lion...I cannot imagine a better bullet, perhaps some are as good since todays bullets are the best in my long lifetime. I have also used them on deer and Elk and bison on this side of the pond.. Never had one fail in any manor, sure some have probably failed like any other bullet but I have had only 3 bullet failures since about the Late 1940 or early 1950s and those failures were with a very popular bullet only a couple of years ago and all three failures were with the same bullet and same caliber out of the same box, and it was not a Woodleigh. Got to hand it to todays bullet makers, they got it down right..Didn't use to be that way.

What calibre, Johan? I could make a few guesses, but .... -- Promise me, when I die, don't let my wife sell my guns for what I told I her I paid for them. | |||

I'm also curious, and will take a first guess @ 9,3x62  -------- There are those who only reload so they can shoot, and then there are those who only shoot so they can reload. I belong to the first group. Dom --------- | |||

338 winmag, I love this caliber. Yet to find any ammo Factory or handload to shoot more than MOA. These woodleighs are 1/2" at 100Y Cheers Johan | |||
