PC I have used 286gr Woodleigh softs out of my double, on some deer and wild pigs and they have done real well. Everything I have hit has gone down including two big whitetail bucks. The only animal that took more than one shot is a pig my wife jumped and shot in the elbow with her 308. I chased it down [about 800 yards of chase down ] and shot it from behind as it ran directly away. The bullet hit the rear left upper leg bone, broke it, traveled just inside the ribcage messing up the left lung. The pig went right down, but needed a frontal head shot to finish him off. I have no complaints on the 9,3 Woodleigh's. | |||

NE, went to my local gunshop today and enquired on the price of woodleigh 9.3 bullets compared to the speers; speer 270 gr per 100 $72AUS Woodleigh 250gr per 100 $102AUS For shooting hoppers & pigs they should work I save $30AUS so being on a graduate accountant wage I thought I had best get myself 2 boxes of speers | |||

PC check my previous posts I have had good performance with the Speer 270gr. Midway prices Woodleigh at $47.53US per 50 and Speer at $10.74US per 50. That may be one reason nobody ever says nice things about the Speer bullet, it is so cheap how can it be any good? | |||

I have used the 9.3x62 Woodleighs in 286 gr. and 320 gr. in both solid, RN softpoint and PP configuration and the have worked perfectly on everything form Duiker to cape buffalo.... Actually I see little difference in the 286 gr. and 320 gr. Woodleigh, but I tend to like the 320 gr. RN for Buffalo a bit better, maybe.... Woodleigh is the perfect 9.3 bullet IMO. | |||

Ray, I figure for roo's & pigs the speer should work well. If I gor for bigger stuff with the 9.3 then a woodleigh bullet would defintely be in order. | |||

Woodies shoot better in my 9.3X74R double than any other bullet tried. way better than the noslers. nothing like a good old fashioned round nosed bullet to follow the grooves and land at the target!! the bad news is except for 293 TUGS, the woodies are the most expensive things out there. Now if only I could draw a tag I could shoot sometihnig with one of them, or even two of them. | |||

Woodleighs are designed to be shot in double rifles im many cases, they follow the outside measurements of the old Kynoch, RWS, etc. which all the old doubles and most new doubles are regulated for...that is why they shoot them better... | |||
