Woodleigh projectiles ent me two 900 grain woodeligh projectiles they had kicking around, so I can get my chamber cut to feed them. They are a very impressive projectile. The sad thing is they state they will not make any more woodleigh 900 gr projectiles. They state that there "much to time consuming" to rpoduce as there mostly done by hand. I wonder how many one would have to order to get them to do a run? Karl e-mailed me and said we should all keep on there backs with e-mails to get them to produce them as a stadard item.

As I understand it, Woodleigh's policy is that they will make a custom bullet if you place an order for 5000 bullets. However, if they have to make the 900 grainers by hand, then there may be no amount of money large enough to get Woodleigh to make them again.

What is the max velocity you guys get with the 900 grain bullet in your 577 Tyrannosaur and 585 Nyati...?

That amounts to 4.5 letters from 4.5 shooters who can no longer write ledgably, talk coherently and have lost all bowell control from shooting the first dozen hand make 900 gr. bullets they made. Thats why they quite making them!

The other half of the half is no longer among us, he succombed to the recoil when they pulled his thumb from his nose hole!

Mitch shot some excellent groups with the 900 grainers.

When loaded with 900 grainers, I think my 585 kicks harder than Ray can punch.

Hell Ray if you are going insult our ability to write 'ledgably' and speak coherently,the least you could do for yourself is SPELL THE INSULTS CORRECTLY.
