"Thin barrels are thin barrels at the end of the day, and thin barrels and hard bullets
will not long make for happy combination"

It's not the Hardness that causes the problem - it's the lack of "give" in the bullet which means
that the only thing to "give" as the bullet passes down the barrel is the barrel itself - hence the problem.

ie Woodleigh Steel Jacketed Solids are made of Coated Steel - steel is hard as we all know, HOWEVER
the bullet has a LEAD core and is open at the bottom. This allows some "give" as it travels down the barrel.

However like the 2nd poster, I only use Woodleigh Steel Jacketed Solids sparingly - I work up loads using
Woodleigh Softnoses, the once I've got the load I check that the solids shoot the same (4 - 8 shots) and then
I only shoot Soft Nose bullets unless I'm hunting Buffalo, in which case my 2nd shot in a double is always a solid
and the last round in my bolt gun magazine is always a solid.

I have not had any problems so far over about 10 - 15 double rifles - Old English and New.

Also, Woodleigh bullets are profiled (shaped) as per old English Double Rifle Bullets so that the minimum amount
of contact is made between bullet and barrel ie .458 bullet is only .458 for a small part of it's base, it then tapers slowly.
This helps enourmously with pressure and wear on the barrels.

Nosler Partitions - don't know buy why use a bullet when you have Woodleigh's et al ?

Hope this helps
