The Woodleigh 400 grain performed beautifully at 250 yards on a caribou. Started out right at 2150 fps. I’m pretty certain the 1800 mark is conservative.
The bullet left a fist size exit wound behind the left shoulder. I know one animal doesn’t make an empirical test, but others shooting the same bullet have reported similar results.
Hawks 400 grain did a wonderful job on a cow moose at 75 yards. And the Barnes 300 grain TSX worked as designed on a caribou at 200 yards.
I have a lot of 400 grain Woodleighs as well as a good supply of 400 grain Barnes originals. I’d like to get a Hawk 350 into a moose or caribou. I have some loaded. Just need to get me, the rifle and a critter in the same place at the same time.
Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.
