Great pictures folks!
I hope to be able to put up some pictures this Fall though. The 175 Woodleigh seems like a good one in the Mashburn.

Can't upload pics from here but I took 2 cape buff, an eland, warthog and 2 impalas with my Heym 450/400 open sights using the 400 grain Woodleigh. One impala was shot at 173 paces and the warthog was right between the eyes at last light because that's all I could see. The 400 Woodleigh is a beast and my buddy just finished loading some for me for our trip to Zambia this fall for buff and roan.

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. That'll work Mart, nice shooting to your wife, bet that Caribou folded like a cheap lawn chair when it caught that Woodleigh. That caribou looked like someone jerked the tundra out from under it. It went down decisively.

Nice British. I use to load for one years ago. A co-worker had one sporterized quite nicely. Fun round to work with.

gunner, you the poster child for Woodleigh??
Pick out a few, email them to me and I'll post. Get wifey to shoot some good ones.
DF LOL, heck no DF, but I wish I was, betting they'll be some African or Oz hunters show up here in a bit with some great photos and stories, Wifey is sitting with her mom at the hospital today, she'll be in tonight, I'll see if she can send you some pics for posting to your e-mail, and many Thanks. I lied DF, got my plans changed yesterday evening, damn near forgot about valentines day date night out. Promise to get some pics this weekend.

I don't know about waylaid animals, but they will really waylay your wallet! Compared to the cost of a hunt, they're good insurance. Speaking of Woodleighs, I cant wait to get the old Barnes heavy jacket c&c bullets shot up in my M-71 Winchester 348 and develop a new load with the 250 gr Woodleighs, talk about a bonded, deep death punching hammer, they're it for that old lever gun.

Mart, I bet it did.
SCGunNut, Nice! I love that bullet in my 303, it regulates to the sights perfectly at 2168 fps, have never caught one, bet that doe didn't hold that bullet either.

Ill tell you what. I wouldn't want to be a jackrabbit around Ken. I only ever shot one,with a 22/250. Yawn. Done that too. If you want to see fur fly,a .340 Wby with a 250 grain Nosler Partition @ 2900 fps will do it.

No pic, but 310 RN from 35 Whelen Ackley on a 200# Eurasian hog up on the U.P., MI Beautiful area, not really a hunt, but lots of hogs. I'm going to load some 300SN in my new to me 338 winmag before long. I have to wait until I get a real recoil pad put on this thing, no brake!

I don't know about waylaid animals, but they will really waylay your wallet! Checking Midway, they're comparable to Nosler Partitions and Barnes X for price.
