ScottSExpansion question?
Has anyone recovered any Woodleigh 0.411" diameter, 400gr SN bullets that were fired with a muzzle velocity ~ 2100 fps? If so I would appreciate information on what the expanded diameter(s) was, and the range to the target.
Thanks.

BuliwyfHello Scott,
No experience with Woodliegh .411 SN @ 2100, but experience with Woodliegh .458 SN 500-gr @ 2200. Estimate 50% expansion.

N E 450 No2Scotts
I have recovered a couple of .408 Woodleighs fired from my 450/400 3 1/4" double, as well as several .458, 480gr Woodleigh Softs from my 450 No2 and a few 286gr 9,3 [.366] Woodleigh Softs from my 9,3x74R.
I consider the Woodleigh Soft, at double rifle velocities to be one of the best bullets avialable.
Great expansion, great penetration.
You cannot go wrong with it.
I must also say, that in my 450 No2 that the 500 gr Swift A Frame has also given excellent expansion, and penetration.
Their Solids are great as well.
However you will get deeper penetration with the North Fork Flat Point Solids. Much deeper.
