Please help identify these bullets!
Hi everyone, please help me identify these. I have posted on Medium bores but maybe it's more for this forum. They are all .338 calibre bullets. I know now # one is a 250gr Woodleigh weldcore PP, I think # 2 is a BarnesX, #3 & #4 I don't know? I'm more interested in #3 for I’ve been given a few of them and would like to know the origin to reload them. You could view the other links for top & bottom views.

Thanx
Johan

I think nr 3 is one of the older Barnes solids, I have seen a few of them in the ads before they started with the newer banded solid with a flat top.
No idea on nr 4.

Sincerely
Daniel

1. I don't know but Woodleigh sounds like a good guess
2. Barnes Triple Shock (not a Barnes x but Triple Shock).
3. Appears to be a Barnes solid but I am out of my depth here a bit, I don't use solids.
4. The shape appears to be a Hornady, possibly Speer but I doubt it, 90% sure it is Hornady.

These are the closest I got from the Medium bores:

#1 Woodleigh weldcore PP
#2 Barnes x (What's the difference with Triple Shock?).
#3 A - Square - monolithic solid - 250 gr
#4 hornady spire point

Cheers

At this point the list looks correct. Number 2 is a 225 gr Barnes TSX FB (that's what I shoot in my 338-378 Wby)... The Barnes X didn't have the bands. On the TSX the bands were added to decrease copper fouling.

Yes, I think so too, unless #1 is Norma Oryx. I don't think it looks quite right at the tip/meplat for that, but it could be.
