Put the paddles to this thread because I have an interest in the heavy 9.3mm Woodleigh Weldcore bullets.

This got me thinkin' about'em again.

Here is a video on penetration on water jugs with some 9.3mm bullets. The 325 gr one seems to be a cut above. I know water jug test are not the same as real game animal. But it gives a place to start.

Looked at the 320 gr. Weldcore SP when initially acquiring bullets for the new 9.3x62mm cartridge, but at the time they were relatively expensive and thought to be sub-optimal compared to the 286 gr. fodder.

FF/today, they are a relative bargain. (although right now MidwayUSA has .366/250 gr. NOSLER AB's for $40.10/50 box)

So, am again thinkin'bout the 320 gr. Weldcore SP, at ~ 2300 fps/24" Bbl., ahead of one of the IMR/H 4350 powders and CCI 200 primers.

Any performance value for North American Large/Dangerous game over Big Game/286 gr. A-frame/Oryx at ~ 2400 fps.?

Used as a woods/< 100 yd. stopping round.
