Coll416, interesting what you say about both the Woodleigh and the Barnes bullets. I have found that Woodleigh's work perfectly even with heavy bone,at least on the deer, Sambar and Fallow in particular. I have always found that the bullets will smash through bone, damage internals badly with out much meat damage and leave a good exit wound, at least with the 338 WM in 250 grain. Any Barnes X-Bullets that I have seen especially at close range sail straight through and do very little damage of anything, leaving the animal very much alive and running around. Several blokes in our club have had a long and perfect record on Sambar with Woodleigh bullets, have switched to Barnes as a tryout and gone back to the Wooodleigh's because the Barnes bullets just pencil through with little organ damage and a long follow up.

Now that is very interesting. I have a friend who will use nothing but Barnes TSX in 180gr. from his .300 Win. Mag. for moose. he doesn't hunt elk, but if he did, it would be with the 180gr. TSX.
I hope to try out the 165's or 168's, both TSX this fall on whitetails, Elk and maybe a moose- but much rather have a whitetail and/or an elk.
