350 grain projectiles for 375H&H

I am considering using 350 grain Woodleigh projectiles for buff. The thing is I have noticed that the soft nose differ in BC to the solids. I would like to hear if anyone has tried these bullets.

Hi Richteb.
A friend of mine loaded these Woodlieghs in his .375 last year for use on our Aussie buff and reported excellent results.
The thing to remember with the Woodleighs is that they should only be loaded to the velocities reccomended on the pack.
When driven faster than the design speeds, they flatten out like a coin and do not penetrate very far, something we see on a semi-regular basis with the 416 Rigby users who are handloading the Woodlieghs at 2500 +.

The 350gn gives a little boost to your standard .375 and if you put that Woodliegh in the right spot you will hear your bull bawl, " awe, good shot mun".

, G'day Second Wind, yeh we do av some serious buff "down-under". See my post in the Hunting in Australia/New Zealand section: Buffalo Hunting in Australia

Cheers.

The 350grn Fmj bullets have fantastic penetration so make sure there's nothing of value behind the target. A great "follow up" bullet .
