Please note that I am not specifically anti-Woodleigh. They must be a good product generally so we are comparing at the splitting edge of quality here.(In fact I've got a lot of solids and softs still to develop for my 10.75 x 68)

Point is you are looking for an "everything" load and that is tricky. Clearly you are looking for a soft that needs to perform like a solid. There are many that claim that title but some products just tend to attract less criticism than others, and (in my opinion)the Swift A-frame is one of those.

As an example you can look at this forum which has both pro & anti Woodleigh opinions on it (both sides supported by some solid theory and experienced characters)

Similarly I'm not an overly keen Barnes user, but Alan's comment that "all that was left was the copper jacket" leads me to think he's refering to a jacketed bullet, not an X type. Again, ideally an X should perform like a soft and a solid together-opening up but retaining it's mass for straight line penetration. Their single biggest problem is probably a failure to open sometimes? This could be a problem if you shoot something a bit small and get the shot between the ribs. I am convinced of this from experience with friends who used them in their .308 Wins in the past(hence the introduction of the Tipped Triple Shock) In this class you can considder the GS Custom products as well. Probably more likely to be an "all rounder" than the Barnes is.

If something different is your cuppa-tea then you could also do well with the Stewart Welded Core. Now ther's a "boutique" product from a real, live "old boy" who at 75 says he hasn't shot he's last buff yet. Chech his pedigree here:

In the end it's applied science coupled with your own personal passions. As long as you enjoy it!
