Re: Would you believe I found this - A Johann Peterlongo 11.2x72

That's sad! One can expect a rationalisation of the Woodleigh line seeing they are going from not restarting at all to re-opening. The extensive line will no doubt miss more than a few of the lesser demanded bullets. One can hope ones own needs and some of the rarer ones still get made. Not just the most obvious cartridges as sold by Norma, Federal etc.


Hello NitroX,
Thanks for the reply,

Cutting Edge did make bullets for 11.2 caliber, but their bullets are lathe turned. They made "450g Safari solids" and 400g Hollow Point "Safari Raptors". (I'm not sure if they are still making bullets in 11.2 caliber.) Hawk also makes 11.2 caliber bullets, but they are copper tubing with lead cores and not "Weld Core" like the Woodleigh bullets. Fortunately I have a bunch of the Cutting Edge bullets, and plenty of the Woodleigh bullets because I was very fortunate to get 650 bullets with the Schuler rifle that was posted about earlier. Now I only have 550 bullets left, because I helped a fellow forum member in need that was going to African later this year and wanted to use his 11.2x72 Schuler rifle for Cape Buffalo and other game.
