Re "Apparently a broadside shot with a softnose Woodleigh on a buff is perfectly adequate. If it hits the onside
shoulder can it still penetrate to the heart lung region?

Any such xperiences? Heaps / Hundreds. They definately will get through to the Vitals, no worries what so ever.


Solid - Will it go clean thru the buff? YES

If so then I assume general recommendations for the Double would be to load with a soft for the 1st shot, then
a solid for the fleeing backside or charging horns. Is this correct?

So so - each to their own. As I said before, I load 2 softs and then reload with what is needed, SN, SN or SN, Solid.

It also depends on whether I am hunting one animal like a Big Bull which is when I would definately
reload with a Solid OR wading into a herd of Buff with rapid fire where in most of my experiences
all they want to do is piss off out of there, especially after the 6th shot when a few of their mates are
dying around them.
