I’m so curious about the (presumably) soft point in the bottom picture! Can you tell the story of that projectile?

Is that the elephant visible in the first photo? What distance? Because I’m using my phone to view this I thought it was a rhino when I first saw it.

Hi,
We shot an elephant, with solid Woodleigh bullet.1000gr
And we shot a rhino with Woodleigh soft nosed 1000gr. Finished at 994.2gr. Can send you the picture of bullet on wedge.
Will have slow motion to give you later!
 
Perfect for when the elephant is hiding behind a mountain

Do you still have this rifle? I'm in the KC area on business and I'm very interested.

I didn't get drawn for Wyoming this year.




Are you planning to hunt Unit 4 this fall?



(Thinking about coming out)
another great review

Thanks again for your support on the Rhodesian Shotgun thread. From the amount of "LIKES" it received, it appears there was only ONE person who objected. Hes also the same one who continually insisted on interjecting his posts that werent relevant to the thread.
