[QUOTE="Perkules, post: 35815, member: 945"] Hello, long time no see. Trying out Woodleigh 250 now, here´s my 400 meter target from today: [img]http://petander.cc/338LMWoody/Abouttofire500.jpg[/img] [img]http://petander.cc/338LMWoody/400targetview.jpg[/img] 400 meters looked good enough so I moved my target to 500, the absolute maximum for my moose shots. [img]http://petander.cc/338LMWoody/Enemy.jpg[/img] Three shots, about 5" I think. 400 gave me three shots in 4", funny that one can spend a couple of hours with six rounds... here they are, two in the plate and one high left. 500 meters, that is. [img]http://petander.cc/338LMWoody/Targetclose.jpg[/img] Lots of excercise verifying the trajectory, six rounds and three kilometers, walking back and forth in the swamp. I´ll check 600 meters next, this load looks good enough for me to go on. For some reason I´ve made myself think that these Woodys are for close range only. Not so, 500 meters is long for me anyway. Any experiences on big game with these bullets? Here´s my data: Cartridge : .338 Lapua Mag. Bullet : .338, 250, WDL PP WeldCore 56B Cartridge O.A.L. L6 : 3.540 inch or 89.30 mm Barrel Length : 24.0 inch or 609.6 mm Powder : Vihtavuori N165 96 grains, 2950 fps ,CCI 250. EDIT: OVER MAX LOAD!!! [ 09-13-2004: Message edited by: Petander ] [/QUOTE]
