I thought I knew what these where but now I’m not sure. All 400grs .423” bullets. I thought the very round nose bullet was a Woodleigh but not sure any more. Can you folks help ID these?

I think that you are right. They sure do look like the bullets I have. Could it be that the FMJ is 450gr? (didn't think about looking at the length when I went to check just now). The last one, with lots of lead showing, I'm not so sure about. But something in the back of my mind whispers "A-Square".

All 400grs and the FMJ shoots the same as the really round nose one... the other could be A-square?

I was going to guess the one with all the lead showing was A square as well
For some reason I thought they were Woodleigh but A Square would be great too. Going to use those on a buff in a couple weeks

Would be very wise to know what bullet you were using before opening an up close dialogue with a buffalo.
 
Just checked again - and the Woodie FMJ 400 is indeed a little bit longer than the RNSN. Guess that the steel in the jacket might be the reason.

I agree 100%. If it’s the A square “lion load” bullet it would probably be poor choice on Buffalo. I would try to source some swift A-frames if it were me.
:S Agree:

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.

Hi EGS

I read your thread with interest. Would you mind sending me that PDF? May I put it on my website?
