470EDDYI had a call from the author Graeme Wright while he was in Las Vegas for the SHOT SHOW with Geoff McDonald, WOODLEIGH BULLETS.He is putting the finishing touches on the book and working with the printers now. I have suggested he have them individually package each book for shipment so they can be mailed easily.
Books should be available later this year!!
I have an order in for the first case, all autographed!!

There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t.

Steve BertramWhere is Paul Harvey when you need him? I want to hear the rest of the story. Did Woodleigh find a US distributor?

470EDDYI have encouraged Graeme to offer his 4th edition here on AR!! He may do it... I will keep you advised.
There are still alot of the WOODLEIGH HANDLOADING BOOK available, written by Graeme Wright and Geoff McDonald together. You may order that thru Woodleigh.
Geoff hasn't nominated his US Distributor yet. He interviewed 3 or 4 when he was here for SHOT SHOW. He will make a decision soon as production is ramping up and he has filled some back orders from the Ammo manufacturers. I will advise here on AR as soon as I hear!!
CheerZ,

McKayI have 2 of his additions. Think the last one was number 3 and its about twice as thick as the first one I got. So hopefully this will include more data as well.

You can borrow money, but you can't borrow time. Don't wait, go now.

Thanks, but no joy. I've just about given up on finding the stuff. Fortunately I've found a couple of nandloads with Woodleighs and Hornady Bonded that regulate well. Still if ANYBODY has any Norma PH 375 H&H FL Magnum ammo for sale in 300gr , let me know!

reddy375So is Woodleigh back in biz?

470EDDYArjun,
I spoke with Geoff McDonald a couple weeks ago and had a WHATSAPP conversation last weekend.
The building is complete, and the production machinery is up and running. He is slowly cleaning up the swaging dies by caliber and running some back orders for ammo makers in specific calibers. He was working on 375 cal. bullet dies last week and will be running them next.
Geoff is still continuing discussions with several potential US Distributors to replace Huntington's Die Specialties, who have retired.
Short answer, it won't be long, and he will be shipping to the new distributor/s and the great WOODLEIGH bullets will be rolling on the US market again!!
There is a good stock of the WOODLEIGH HANDLOADING MANUAL, co-authored by Geoff and Double Rifle guru Graeme Wright. Order directly from Woodleigh. This is a great book for handloading for Dangerous Game and Double Rifle calibers. (These books, along with H&H Paradox ammo, was stalled in the hands of their old agent for a couple years!! We finally got this resolved with the assistance of a local Sheriff "Wellness Visit!!" shortly after COVID...)

470EDDYI just spoke with Geoff McDonald yesterday. All is going well with production rolling; 375 Cal bullets have been run to stock now and he will start 9.3mm this coming week. He has also made and shipped several calibers to NORMA and FEDERAL for factory loaded ammo production.
He is working with two potential US Distributors, one east coast and one west coast... they will work together, not in competition, in supplying the US market.
Geoff will be making his final decision and then making a formal announcement on return of production and shipments to Distributors... probably before the end of June.
He is planning to attend SHOT Show next year, and maybe SCI if it doesn't conflict??
Let the WOODLEIGHS roll in...
