I own 1 rifle that needs Woodleighs and sadly I only have light projectiles 450gr Woodies, If anyone knows of some 51cal 570gr RN SN I would grab em :thumbsup:

I was also hoping to use there 50 cal 400gr for my 500S&W but I can get other other projectiles.

Will be big lose to the Big game boys globally if they chose to not rebuild

That’s why I’m hopeful of woodleigh coming back bigger and better. Maybe nioa or someone will buy the rights and restart production. There’s definitely a good market for woodleigh Bullets....

Terrible shame to say the least. Firstly because it is a great product and secondly because it’s a shame to think another Aussie manufacturing business is gone.
