550grn Woodleigh FMJ & Weldcore RN SN .458

[BRNO zkk602]

Evening everyonei hope you are all well. Just a quick question I have been searching on here for any information on the Woodleigh 550 FMJ & weldcore RN SN bullets in .458. I will be loading these for my Lott which is a Brno Zkk602 has anyone loaded these and what was the performance like ? Velocity? I will be using them on DG and have new Norma cases to load them in.
I was trying to source the Norma African PH .458 Lott ammo but being in zim they are like hens teeth so ordered the components and will load them up myself.
Any help would be appreciated and any experiences you have had with them good and or bad would be great to hear .

Cheers

This is an old post but I'll post my results in case anyone has a similar question...

In my .458WM I'm loading 73gn of Benchmark 2 (Benchmark) for a velocity of 2080fps through a 24" barrel with the 550gn Woodleigh.

I haven't shot any DG with this load yet but someone I know in the Northern Territory has used the 550gn Woodleigh at an almost identical velocity on water buffalo - and he said they hit real hard. Very emphatic.

Hope this helps.
