I do not disagree with the earlier postings about Hornady bullets. The reason I use the Woodleighs 270 grain bullets is because I only take anchoring shots on moose and bear, caribou. I have had failures with all other makes of bullets but the Woodleigh.

I only have one load for both the 270 and the 300 grain bullet. 76 grains of 4350 has worked for me low these many years in this caliber.

I do like the 270 grain load because it shoots much like my loading in 30-06 with the 180 grain Woodleigh. These two loads and calibers take care of 99.9% of my needs for meat loads. I do not have to re-think anything about trajectory between the two. At the ranges I shoot at (out to 400 yards) I like the kiss principal.

It works for me, if not for you, then keep looking.

I have never shot any Woodleighs, but on purely an intuitive basis their construction appeals to me more than the construction of the homogenous types. Have you or anyone else ever shot any, say 270 & 300 grain Woodleighs into a test medium along with the 270 & 300 Horns at the same velocity? I'm really curious as to how the two would compare/contrast in a controlled test.

If not, maybe I need to quit being such a tightwad and get some Woodleighs and try them on my boards & jugs.
