450Dakkers:
I have no experience with the Oryx either, but can't speak highly enough of Woodleigh Weldcores. Like several other members of this board, I have been using them for many years and can't fault their performance.

Just last weekend, I jumped a very large boar from his bed under a creek-bank, and shot him in the ham with a 400gr Woodleigh from my .400 Jeffery double. The bullet penetrated a measured 1.3 metres (yes, a BIG pig!) and was found lodged in the cheek-muscle after breaking the jaw. It was expanded right back past the base, but still weighed 390 grains! What can I say?

The weekend before, a mate took his first buffalo with a .308, using 180gr protected-point Woodleighs. Admittedly it took five shots to close the encounter (he kept trying to get back up!), and we only found one projectile, under the hide on the off-side. It was well-expanded, and when asked what I thought it might weigh, I offered "180 grains, of course!" Well I was wrong, it was 179.4 grains.

I should add that I have no association with Woodleighs whatsoever, I buy mine right over the counter of my local gunshop at retail. I just can't resist passing on my continuous satisfaction with these marvellous bullets. Why look any further?
