Woodleigh reloading manual?

[hs01jowe]

Not any 460s, but I have the 425 and 525. White tail deer go down like they're pole axed. And there's very little extraneous tissue damage. I can practically eat right to the hole.

Where I hunt, shooting distances are rarely further than 50 yards, and never further than 100 (if even that). My 6.5x55 Tikka and my 45-70 are my go-to rifles for that environment. Out of the 6.5, I shoot Woodleigh 160s at a touch under 2400 fps. At 40 or 50 yards, that'll turn a deer's heart to jelly, but ruins very little meat otherwise.

Yes, the 6.5x55 have been the standard here for over 100 years and together with the 45-70 it makes an excellent combo.

Do you get any lead in the barrel?

No lead fouling in my barrel.

Hello, I'm looking for reloading data for my 400 Jeffrey (450/400 3"). I do have some reloading books, but never had a look into the Woodleigh book. Does this book has any information about this caliber?

I think you should be able to download a simple scanner app if your phone allows.

The app is easy to you I had it on a work phone

Since someone already provided you with the Woodleigh data, here's some Hornady data.

Midway has DGX in stock. Haven't read back through the whole thread, so I don't know if you know, Woodleigh factory burned down a couple years ago. They are rebuilding, the owner says they should have some bullets to ship by the end of this year.
