In my 26 inch tube Mauser I tested these bullet in Africa on Buffalo for several years before they hit the market. Both the PP and the RN were tested..Geoff wanted the PP and I wanted the RN, so Geoff just produced both..After using them I have found both have a place, but the PP is probably the best all around bullet, all things considered..The RN is a real killer on broadside shots however..
I loaded up several loads that chronographed as flwgs:
WW cases
Fed. 215 Primers
65.5 grs. of IMR-4350 2405 FPS very accurate
66.5 grs. of Rl-15 2407 FPS very accurate
75.0 grs. of H-414 2415 FPS veru accurate
My rifle is a very accurate rifle and its hard to compare loads with it as such, but I got the imprssion without actually measuring them the RL-15 loads were the most consistant and the most accurate over all. That is the load I settled on, and have been using ever since..
A really great bullet, I have never had a Woodleigh fail on me in the last 40 or so years.
