Those 250 gr Hornady round nose for my .338 ain't fast, and are ugly as sin. Ya gotta be some kinda pervert to like them. Sexy they ain't. Unless you are a pervert.
But they go sub-MOA at 100 yards - and they were just thrown together as junk loads. With about 40 rounds left, using them at the rate of 3 per year for moose hunting (one to check sights, one to drop moose, one for insurance - clean rifle and put away....), those rotten bastids are gonna last me into decrepency... they are just too good to waste on paper...
But they are still butt-ugly.

I have a bunch of 250 grain Woodleigh round noses in factory ammo for my 340 Wby. They [bleep] and get- Norma doesn't seem to load mild stuff!

I've loaded 250gr Woodleighs in my 325wsm. they are freakishly long and look mean. surprisingly accurate.

Several 220 grain are accurate in my old .300's.. Great loads for elk and deer in the brush..

There is nothing surprising about Woodleigh accuracy. They are reliably accurate and always stood above the rest in my tests. I once sent 17 targets to Geoff McDonald that were way under MOA and some of those around .2-.6 MOA from the .416 and .460 Weatherby's I owned. John
When truth is ignored, it does not change an untruth from remaining a lie.

I got some Hornady 154gr Interlock RN loaded up for my 7 WSM. Shoot really good and the velocity is over 3000 fps. Might use them this fall.

I have some 160 Hornady RNs for my 264 Win Mag. I think they'd be fun. Might not be ballistically awesome but they will still do fine out to 350 I'd think.
