Quote: Your the first person that I have ever talked to that blew a woodleigh bullet apart..I have shot all manner of big beasts with them and all with perfect expansion...Apparantly your shooting them into dirt or too fast in the 340 and need a heavier bullet..I doubt if they were designed for the 340...You sure won't blow the 300 gr. Woodleigh up a bear...I have shot them through Cape Buffalo.
Yes, I was shooting at a target and then dug the Woodleighs from the dirt. From the muzzle I was getting around 2770 fps average and the target was 200 yards away.. All I could locate was the copper shell but no lead core attached.
I also am a big fan of the Nosler Partition. I also use the Speer Grand Slams and Remington Core Loks for moose in Canada. All of them will anchor a moose nicely with a good, well placed shot. Best wishes.
If your hunt is spot and stalk try the 210 Nosler Partition. If I was hunting over bait, and thus my shots would be close I would go with the 250 Nosler Partition. I once shot an Elk at 90 yards with a 340 WBY with the 210 Partition. It went right through and the Elk went right down.
