Re: 7mm 140 gr Hydro-Solid .284" - Who has used these?

Respectfully, I don’t care about the social interactions and where / who made them, or about any political crap associated thereto.... I believe that these things will work very well as a solid and am dying with curiosity as to how the dished out nose will modify performance...... for me, the key is that they are monomtal and are of a pressure reducing “banded” design that will be kind to my expensive double rifle barrels.
On an emotional level, I feel that the Woodleigh organization has contibuted immensely to the double rilfe shooting community by providing bullets tailored specifically to double rilfes where other manufacturers have by and large abandoned us. This alone should drive some alleigance and loyalty.... I feel the same way about Hornady who brings us brass and loaded cartridges for our double rifles: Both Woodleigh and Hornady keeps us double rifle shooters “in the game”.
Whoppy-do ....
Myself I like to see both sides of the opinion mentioned. Not just what the bullet maker wants said ...
I use Woodleigh bullets all the time. Largely I don't see the point of the hydros, when the usual RN FMJ do the same job. At a far far better price.
Other users may see differently and choose them for various reasons. Banded bullets with lesser barrel friction. Jurisdictions which do not allow lead bullets.
And judging by the potential damage the extra hard Woodleigh FMJs may do to an expensive barrel (from a recent alleged hearsay - H&H - example), maybe a banded monometal IS a better choice as a FMJ.
But ffff it, the day I will allow alternative points of view to be bullied off these forums. The makers can easily pick up their phone and give me a ring if they want.
