Woodleigh bullets recovered from game
06/07/05 02:07 AM

Woodleigh FMJ bullets recovered from game. From left:
(1) unfired 570 grain 500 Nitro Express bullet
(2) 570 grain 500 NE bullet fired into elephant head (note deformation of the bullet base) (59 inches of penetration, missed neck vertebrae)
(3) unfired 500 grain .474” bullet
(4) 500 grain .474" bullet fired into elephant head at 2300 fps (note core squirting out the base of the bullet) (31 inches of penetration, stuck in neck vertebrae)
(5) 500 grain .474" bullet fired into waterbuck at 125 yards, muzzle velocity was 2300 fps (53 inches of penetration)
(6) unfired 480 grain .458” bullet
(7) 480 grain .458" bullet fired into eland shoulder at 2200 fps (31 inches of penetration)
(8) 480 grain .458" bullet fired into elephant (frontal chest shot) at 2200 fps (53 inches of penetration)

The Woodleigh solids did not exhibit as large a wound channel as either the GS Custom or Bridger bullets. On elephant heads they seem to be just as good as Bridger and GS Custom, but on body shots they do not penetrate as deeply as flat nose solids, on average.
