Need a new Bullet

I've always loaded up Woodleigh PPs, RNs, SNs, and solids. Have not tried the CPs yet.
 
I have always hand loaded north fork bullets for my plains game and dangerous game rifles. Apparently they are going out of business and will have to switch. Any recs for comparable bullets. I have hand loaded the solids, ss, and pp’s all with excellent performance.
Thanks


Depends where you live. Peregrine is an African product of course.

If you're North American, the "killer combo" for large bores is Woodleigh Hydrostatic Solids and Swift A-Frames. Barring that, Woodleigh Hydros and Woodleigh Softpoints.

If you're dealing with bolt action rifles, many alternatives exist. Barnes, Hornady, Federal Trophy Bonded, etc.

For best answers: describe the rifle a bit more, what nation you reside, caliber, etc. and we'll help you with options.

The TSX totally eliminated the need for me to load softs and solids separately. For me, one bullet does it all (penetrates deep, 100% weight retention, but still expands). The TSX is cheap, highly available, easy to load, and has decades of data and proof backing it up. You won't have to worry about switching loads again.

Unless you are hunting elephant, rhino, hippo on land or anything else in elephant country and you are the PH....
 
Cody. Say it aint so
I just got to liking the cup point solids. Any idea were to find something comparable? Best to u and yours. Jacques

Maybe you should try Woodleigh solids or hydros.
 
For plains game the Swift A-Frame works quite well. Attached a photo of a .375" / 270grs A-Frame out of a male Oryx (shot by 9,5x66SE, v0=850m/s, shot distance 200m).
Oryx and warthog no problems with this bullet!

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
