Seems like a good off season topic. Anyone waylaid any big critters,small critters,fast critters or slow critters with these bullets? Pics if you got em!

Dang, wish I could post pics:
Kudu, Africa, 400 gr Woodleigh
Gemsbok, Africa, 400 gr Woodleigh
Impala, Africa, 400 gr Woodleigh
Duiker, Africa, 400 gr Woodleigh
Steinbok, Africa, 400 gr Woodleigh
Black Russian Hog, Tennessee, 215 gr Woodleigh
Numerous deer and pigs in Oklahoma and Arkansas:
500 gr Woodleigh, 458 WM
320 gr Woodleigh, 9.3x62mm
215 gr Woodleigh, 303 British
200 gr Woodleigh 30-06
All animals were hit right and died very quick, expansion and weight retention on the one or two recovered has been textbook perfect, Woodleighs are some damn fine hunting bullets and among my favorites.

I have shot a few deer and hogs with them in my .350 Rem mag. Bought a number of boxes years ago cheap. Very accurate bullets and great penetration. Never recovered one. Still have a box or 2 but don't load them any longer.
Faith and love of others knows no mileage nor bounds. That's simply the way it is.

After the game is over, the king and the pawn go into the same box.

This caribou fell to a .411, 400 grain Woodleigh from my 400 Whelen at 250 yards. My wife made the shot with my coaching. The rifle was still in the white at the time. That bullet is definitely adequate for caribou. ![[Linked Image]](https://photos.smugmug.com/Huntin-pics/i-QSbBWHM/0/d2f744f2/L/IMG_1497-L.jpg)

I plan to give the 225 gr Woodleigh RN a try this spring on black bear with my newly acquired 358 Win, got some loaded up but not going to get a chance to shoot them until all this snow stops  Been wanting to try Woodleigh bullets on game for a long time now. Plan on trying the 174 gr in 303 and maybe even the 160 gr in our 260 and 6.5x55.

I wish we had something more robust than deer here to try them on. I do have 3 Colorado elk points to do something with.....
