Not sure when the Woodleigh Hydro bullets were inroduced, may not have existed back in '05 when this thread started, but they certainly changed the game for the 9.3 calibre.

Even in a Mauser where seating depth on a full charge in the 9.3x62 may preclude feeding, a Hydro in the chamber for the first shot definitely represents a paradigm shift on dangerous game.

Good writeup on the Woodleigh Hydro bullets here for those (very few!) unfamiliar.

Currently building a 9.3x62 on a 1915 Oberndorf action, with Australia's Northern Territory buffalo the intended target, so keenly interested in this topic atm.

Good article..

I agree totally.. Bullets make a huge difference in the effectiveness of the caliber.
Have never used Woodleigh bullets but have used Fed Trophy Bonded Bear Claws out of a .375H&H in Cameroon.. worked very well.. have used Swifts in the other African hunts with excellent results..have tried other bullets, but at this point will not move from what I know works..

Are these hard to get at the moment with all the shortages??
