I have found that different calibres in Woodleigh perform differently. That is the 358 cal seem to be harder than what the recommended velocities allow. The 3 Sambar I have taken with my 35 Sambar were taken at ranges, 180mts, 70 mts and 20 mts. The 70 mts shot was heart lung the 180mts broke both shoulders. The 20 mts broke 3 ribs and off side shoulder and impact velocity was over 200fps above max recommended by Woodleigh. All bullets retained between 86% and 94% of original weight.

Yet other cals a hit this far above max recommended would have a bullet coming apart. Re the Core Locks. I have had some spectacular results and what I call failures. Good sized pigs at 150mts with complete pass through, others smaller pigs drop right there at these ranges. 2 Tahr ran 50 and 60 meters, thankfully not over a cliff. Both heart shot but the bullet penciled straight through, no sign of opening. Tahr were about 40mts and 60mts. Yet a Chamois hit in the heart - shot from below- dropped right there and a massive exit wound. Shot from about 100mts. All were 130 grain 270 cal Core loks. This stems back from the mid nineties till 2007. No problem with them before then and now I dont use them. Still do in the 358 round nose in my 356 and work well.
