W,
I am totally a Woodleigh fan, my first choice in .270W, 338W, 9.3x62 & .416. This is based upon their terminal performance. These bullets kill humanely. The thunk noise of a Woodleigh striking is much more audible than some others! The kill because they expand rapidly but hold together to keep penetrating. The mushrooms are big & wide!

I choose long, sleek bullets for the rifle range, where group size counts. I can't shoot small groups in the bush particularly when I am stretched & shooting offhand. I choose hunting bullets for hunting!

I had a .416 410gn Woodleigh pill fail to penetrate enough on a quartering shot to kill a solid scrub bull quickly. The bull did not move more than five metres & required a second shot....I felt that my shot was the primary cause here, I thought my big .416 would knock him off his feet. On the same trip I shot a similar bull with a Woodleigh 410gn FMJ breaking both scapula, like my first bull he required another shot. Neither animals were going anywhere, one bullet expanded too much the other too little, bugger!

Were these bullet failures? No. Like you W I have recovered lots of bullets which has helped me understand there is no perfect!! There are a number of challenges when hunting, terminal performance just one variable. My shooting skill has much more potential to cause a failure!

I strongly agree with some of the comments above, don't follow the market people blindly, they help create unreal expectations. Sometimes the most expensive is not the best!

Do some real analysis, & expect the unexpected!
