Hi anyone have real world Dangerous Game experience with using the 505 Gibbs and the 600g Woodleigh bullets, particularly the Protected Points and their Solids? I'm planning to load them to a leisurely 2150 fps. I was just curious as to the performance of the Protected Points in buffalo. I expect the solids to do well.

Regards,

Chuck

500 grains shot several elephants witht the 600 grain woodleigh out of a 505. He reported the results in African Hunter magazine several issues ago. Short story is that all eles were dead on arrival

I have not used the .505" Woodleighs.

But I have killed an elephant using the .510" 600 grain Woodleigh solids in my .500 A-Square. I used H4350 and easily attained a velocity of 2,300 fps.

I can testify from personal experience that that load worked on elephant. Cool thumb

I have become a convert to Barnes bullets in my .500, however. They seem to be just about perfect.
