Woodleigh Soft nose for wild boar
Gentlemen

I am planning to use my .500 Jeffery on some wild boar and ferel hogs in Argentina with PH Juan Pozzi.
I would like to hear your opinion on the use of Woodleigh soft nose ammo.
The boars and hogs are huge and I think that the bullets should have plenty of time to expand.
Is there a bullet that expands faster and would that be better ?
I have heard of Lion load from A-Square ! is taht a good bullet for Boar ?

Please remember that I am only interested in bullets that are made in the caliber .510 !

I am planning to test the 370 Grn Impala bullet on this hunt also I hope to get +800m/sec I am still working on that load.

Cheers,

Andr�

He tried Rhino bullets this year and the softs slicked through buffalo without expanding at all.



Nice info Ray I was thinking about trying the Rhino bulllet for my .500 Jeffery. Now I will save those founds
I guess that they need a bit more speed to expand !
I know that they work fine in the .375 H&H mag. at around 800 m/sec.

For the big board and feral gogs I will stick to the woodleighs.

Several of our members, of the Double Rifle Shooters Society, have used Woodleighs on our Feral Hog hunts, with great success.

The only other bullet I have experience with would be the Hawk bullet. The Hawks can be had in 3 different jacket thicknesses.. HAWK BULLETS They do make a .510 bullet and do make special runs upon request.
The Hawk bullets are very soft and expand a great deal. That is the intention of their design.
