I have never used the 200G woodleighs in the 30-06 but I have used the 220gr woodleighs extensively for the past 4 years to shoot sambar only converting back to 165gr Nosler BT in the last year. They penetrate very sell and I've only found a handful of the years of a couple of hundred deer. They average about 68% weight retention on the ones I recovered. They open up well and don't overly damage the meat. The velocity was around about 2400fps and they were loaded about a grain below maximum. They would kick a bit in light rifle and certainly more than the Nosler 165gr BT.
