Maybe so, I think it'd be excellent for Eland, bush pig and warthog inside 300 yards.
A "just for what it's worth" info bit:
Recently (April 27) I did my first test of the 320gr Woodleighs. I fired one of each starting at 61 to 66 grs RL-17. Up front, I'll say that all calculations had been previously done including QL. Here are the results:
Ambient temp was +5*C Rifle: Tikka T3 Lite (22.4" barrel) Primer: WLRM Case:Hornady COL = 3.37"
All cases were new and similar in appearance and extraction. Primer pockets were as new after cases were resized.
On May 18 three of those cartridges that had been reloaded for the second time contained 66grs RL-17 behind the 320gr Woodleigh PP. They were fired at our range and recorded: 2433, 2434 and 2428 fps. Add 10 for correction to muzzle. About 30 fps less than the first firing of a single load in new brass, on a day of slightly different ambient conditions in once fired brass is normal. But the point is that they were very consistent in MV, extraction and appearance. I then fired one containing 67grs RL-17 from new brass, all else equal. That one recorded 2475 fps (add 10). Again, all was "normal". I think any of those loads could be useful in hunting depending on range and the game. Probably the 66gr load will be my choice if I ever need or want to use it on anything.
Currently, the 250 AB is my goto load at about 2715 fps. It shoots 0.44 MOA. That's from 70grs RL-17 and is not max. Max is 71 grs at 2760 fps and MOA. On the other hand, the 286 NP is no slouch either at 2622 and MOA from RL-17.
Very good bears have been taken with each -- a single shot in Sept '13 from the 286 NP at 68 yards and one from the 250 last Oct.1st took a very nice bear at 85 yds.
