First post in a long time - .303 Reloading related.

Aussie,

I just ordered 100 of the Woodleigh bullets from a US retailer. The protected point is a new twist for me. The item sounds about as close as I am going to find these days. Read some posts about the Woodleigh family and factory history a while back. Thought they were not in business anymore.

Thanks!

No STG they are still in business and it is booming, as you would be aware 303 British reloading gear is getting harder to source nowadays. The man who is no longer in business is Mr Bone of the Taipan projectile fame, I still have 500 odd left and am going to slash my wrists the day the last of those goes down the barrel.
The PP protected point is a good idea if you look at them the outer jacket comes to a hollow point, the lead core comes up flush to the rim of the jacket which saves the soft core from damage as it's fed into the breech.
I get them for $33 (aus) a box of 50, not sure what the law is your end but if you need any and they are expensive over there can post some over for you.

Righto, it was Taipan that is no longer. The Woodleighs were not all that unreasonable. The Woodleighs ran $33.49 US for 50. I ordered 100, which should last me for this season and into next. Thanks, Aussie, for the shipping offer. I think I am covered for now

There is also a 215 RN grain flat base out there. I may post this question back in the LE forum, but wondering if anyone shoots those out of vintage LEs? Blackpowder even? Maybe save that one for another thread.
