the Woodleigh bullet is world wide known to be a top performer , the bonus of tight tolerances is the bonding of the jacket and core- never ever seen one woodleigh rip apart and spruke them myself as a accubond type performer in close-
he 130gr ppsn choice will give a boost in velocity and in my experiences punches above its weight (as do all woodleighs) and id say its on par with 165gr cup and core "sp" projectile with the bonus it will most definatly stick together.
with the 22 inch barrel an similiar load ive only shot sambar hinds and its been caught once after angling away and into the chest, exiting the hide, entering an breaking the front leg bone an caught on the far hide of the leg- 50-60m impact so expansion was more than typical ranges 80-180 say-
with the velocity "loss" of say 100fps on average- its not here nor there but is starting to act like a 308 with 180gr......
ideally this gun is a north east victorian scrub gun an its max will be 300m with a backline hold-
ive tossed up wit hthe 150gr PPSN from Woodleigh but pulled them an settled on the 2208/130gr load - fallow are quite often on the cards with this gun.
the Woodleigh certainly is not a Speer cup an core 125-130gr - its more adequatley built for the sambar say- im not super confident on all shots for stags buy having shot them for years now with 270 and SP 130gr and the 7-08 with the 140 woodleigh , within there lies this combo and thats a winner:
