I'm interested if any of our members have used the .422" Woodleign 350 gr projectiles on game? How did they perform? Fragile or hold together well? Perhaps used in a .404 Jeffery?
From Kuduae's comments those .44 bullets sized down would probably perform to similar as in a .444 or similar?
Not the .422 350gr Bullet, but I shot one buffalo with the cartridge 10.75x68 and a caliber .423 347gr FMJ bullet from Woodleigh. With a perfect shot placement it went without any problems, but the year before I had shot two buffalos with the classic thin jacketed 22.5g FMJ bullet from RWS, and that was also no problem.
Nevertheless, I consider this cartridge, no matter what bullet, to be marginal for hunting big game, and I am not the only one, in Africa as well as in India. That is another topic.
