I prefer the 9.3mm 286 grain Woodleigh round nose for my hunting, I start this bullet at 2400fps. This bullet will stay inside bigger pigs shot front on and crash through the chest cavity of big scrub bulls & feral stallions shot side on, when used at ranges less than 50 metres. At longer ranges this bullet drills very deeply on everything! I have found the maligned 270 grain Speer bullet very fatal on hundreds of large ferals (donkeys & horses), this bullet penetrates readily at ranges beyond 100 metres when started at 2500fps, at closer ranges however the shooter needs to choose the shot carefully.

As the range increases bullet penetration improves due to velocity reduction. This phenomenon is consistent with all the bullets & calibres I have used! I have learned that all traditional lead core bullets will under perform (my expectations) if heavy bone is struck at close ranges, Woodleighs included! The shoulders & hips of four legged creatures should be avoided when hammering big game at close range, unless you use the mono-metal bullets. Standard lead core bullets have weaknesses at close ranges but come into their own once some velocity is lost. This contrasts with X bullets which are much better in close & but tend to pencil through once ranges increase. This is particularly true of calibres with slower starting velocities like the 9.3x62.

Many years ago my 30-30 150 grain Speer bullets were zipping through big brumby stallions side on when I shot them beyond about 200 metres, in close the performance was much more dramatic! Both were fatal! My journey had begun!!
