Woodleigh Bullets - re-opening ?

[CBH Australia]

Maybe one of the Aussie boys such as Bob Nelson 35Whelen will take over ownership and start making .243 bullets.

I don't have the capitol, but it seems like an ideal time to hire Geoff and get something set up in the United States. No reason they couldn't be made here.

Unfortunately they start at 6.5mm. I did talk at lenght with Geoff about doing some 110 or 115gn 25 cal PPSPs but it wasn't economically viable for him.

I have some of the 160gr 6.5. Very accurate in 6.5 Manbun.

I assume you are talking about Woodleigh's. Hang on to them, they are more desirable than a ManBun.
They could be put to use in a 6.5x55.

Bob has no use for them. It's all .25 -.35 in his world.

I hate to hear this. I have a few left in various calibers. I guess I need to be very sparing.

I think Bob said that 243 dia bullets should be top of the list because it takes so many bring down game.

Just hope my supply of 458 and 375 bullets last till they are back on the market surely hopes so.

Guys from the reply I just got from Woodleigh I would say they are rebuilding. Here is a reply I just got from them in an email.

And this is exactly why you listen to Woodleigh and not rumours. Thanks for the info mate.

Mark that is the best news I've gotten in a while. Thanks for sharing.

 

[CBH Australia]

Yep, pays to go to the source.
Let's hope it comes to fruition.

Thank you for having checked Mark.
Let’s now hope that they manage to build back!

 

[Rare Breed]

I sure hope Woodleigh starts again. I bought 30 caliber bullets just before their fire. Great timing for me but wish I’d ordered other calibers too!

I ordered many boxes for my 450-400 before the fire too…feel fortunate

Great news!!

I'm told Woodleigh won't be re-opening. I cannot find 400 grain hunting bullets for my 416 Remington.
This sort of thing is a major problem in Australia. (Not just for 416 caliber)

It's really sad that they suffered such a bad fire. I'm here in USA. We have a very talented bullet caster in Montana that makes bullets for the 416's and other large bore. https://www.montanabulletworks.com check them out. The prices are very reasonable.

@Frederik
Your Aussie isn't to bad mate.
I know us males would love a Barbie because personally I'm not into Ken.
To hear Woodleigh is going to open even with limited calibres is really shit hot news but the new products we I'll be snapped up quicker than a sea gull on a hot chip so we may still have a bit of a wait. The loyal followers won't let them down.

Yeah Bob, I think Ken was a .243 man , I think the latest action figure sports a ManBun and a Creedmoor.

I'll be careful when I mention Barbie around you and say Barbeque or BBQ.

I didn't know about you being into Barbie,
