Daryl,

Those factory Hornady loads scared me! I bought some for initial load work, and they fragmented badly on the "eastern cedar" backstop. Basically this backstop is comprised of a stack of eastern cedar "logs" ranging in diameter from ~ 6" to ~12". The Hornady bullets were exploding after penetrating the smaller logs and did not exit from a larger log.

The Woodleigh 300 gr soft point is a weldcore (bonded) with a heavy jacket of ~ 0.060". They hold up well even when driven at ~ 2500 fps. My rifle likes them running around 2440fps to 2470fps.

Thank you for your comments regarding the performance of the Hornady's on game. They scared me off with their performance on cedar, though.

Scott
