Woodleigh Hydro's in Africa
02/06/10 07:59 PM

As you all know My Father,Sister and myself hunted Cape Buffalo in Zimbabwe in April.

Thanks to some great work by Geoff of Woodleigh bullets he got some 400 grain Hydro 404 Jeffery projectiles made for me and they arrived the week before I left.
These projectiles only down side to my knowledge is that they can be hard to get to feed but the planets lined up and they fed just find.As yet I can't get them to feed in my 9.3x62 but a mate just bought a CZ 550 in 9.3x62 and they feed well off the shelf.

Dad shot his Cape Buffalo @ 110 yards front on putting the bullet straight through the heart and we found the bullet 6" inside his ham.It almost exited which is pretty good straight line performence to say the least !!.

I shot my Dugga boy @ about 25 yards. He was starting to walk towards me to see what I was.
When I fired he was looking at 5 o'çlock.He turned and bolted away towards 1 o'clock and I fired again.
I said to Craig I thought I put in two good shots so we followed.We found him dead 110 yards away.

The first shot cut off a sapling,hit the Buff in the shoulder and exited out his ham.

The second shot cut off two little branches about 5 yards apart then hit the Buff behind the last rib exiting out the near side shoulder.

Here are the only two 400 grain Hydro's we got back.
