Re: Load data for Woodleighs?

From Woodleigh's 2006 catalog:

----------------------------------------------
LOADING TIPS - SOFT NOSE

As a general rule Woodleigh RN and PP bullets generate similar
pressures to conventionally constructed soft nose bullets. You can
use published data from other bullet and powder manufacturers.
For safety, reduce by 5% and work up. Ensure that the case neck
has a good grip on the bullet.

LOADING TIPS - FULL METAL JACKET

Woodleigh steel jacketed FMJ's generate more pressure than our
soft nose bullets for any given load. To assist the barrel's lead to
engrave the rifling on the bullet, most Woodleigh FMJ's are
.0005" to .001" under nominal diameter. It is important for the
case neck to have a good grip on the bullets, especially when
loading for dangerous game. Factors which affect the grip are:-
Bullet diameter and inside neck diameter. Inside neck diameter is
a product of case neck wall thickness, die neck diameter and neck
plug diameter. As a general rule, start with a charge 5% below
that used for soft nose bullets, and work up.

If contacting us for loads please state
what powders you have available.
