Woodleigh 570 grain .510" softs.

LEFT: new bullet.

MIDDLE: bullet fired into elephant chest at point blank range. (ele was already deceased). Penetrated from the bottom of the chest upwards almost to the spine.

RIGHT: bullet fired into the snout of a live cape buffalo cow at 13 yards or so. Bullet went into her snout back a bit from the wet part, through the skull beneath the brain, out the back of the skull and stuck in the third vertebrae.

Conclusion: Woodleigh softs are good for body shots but not preferred for head shots.

Fired from .500 Nitro Express.

Here is the cape buffalo snout:
