I use Bertram bullets for all my shooting at the BGRC and find them fantastic. Well priced, accurate and with absolute minimal barrel fowling. The only problem is that there is not a huge range, just the main weights and sizes eg. in 375 they only make a 300 grain and no 270 grain which would be ideal for the 9.5x57 and 375NE. Still, I have found that with the same powder charge you can switch between Woodleigh's for hunting and the Bertram bullets for target with no change in point of impact, at least over 100 yards which is as far as we shoot at the BGRC. Bruce is also an extremely nice chap as his son who does a lot of the work these days.

Matt, I to have found the same inter changeability with the Woodleighs and Bertram bullets in the 416.

having watched the video I see that Woodleigh do promote the Hydros as a soft nose alternative in areas where lead is banned.




That advertising angle smells a bit off...... Sure it may be Woodleigh’s alternative, but I can tell you, all solids are illegal here in Ontario for hunting big game. Unless the Woodleighs can be shown to expand, they are a solid and thus illegal for big game use in this jurisdiction. Woodleigh doesn’t have a monometal expanding bullet, plain and simple, so it sounds lik a case of advertising “go with what you got”....... truth in advertising???? Ha!!!!!
