Does/did Woodleigh make bullets and loaded ammunition for it?

Only them. And only Kynamco made ammunition for it.

Hmmm, it is interesting that the 450 and 470 cartridges both shoot bullets in the 480-500 grain range.

Is one considered superior to the other - I suppose the 458 bullets penetrate better and the 470s have larger frontal area?

I spoke to him in June. He definitely isn't retired.

They are two peas in a pod. .470 came about as a replacement when the Brits banned .458 caliber cartridges.
