Tophet

Sounds like a great trip!
Hope it continues to be successful...

That Woodleigh story is a worry... that's the second major performance inconsistency I've heard recently. I'd have expected a 9.3mm 286gr PP to open up properly on a Kudu

A bit OT but...
I was at the Melbourne Shot Show recently and got a few samples of Woodleigh's new 180gr .270 bullet... also a PP design, and by the part still visible at the tip they look like a VERY thick jacketed bullet.

There was some uncertainty by the guy at the Woodleigh stand as to whether they would stabilise in a 1:10" twist, but a mate who got some at the same time reports they stabilise fine and print a little bit lower but along the same vertical plane as his 150gr load.
He was keen to use them on Sambar

I will section one soon and post back here with a photo... but I would say with a length of 35.1mm (SD of .334 and BC of .513) they too would zip end-to-end through a Cape Buffalo
