    I have shot a deer with the 416 rem. BUT copper projectiles, not going full speed and didn't hit major bones.
    I would expect the woodleighs I have for it now, put into a shoulder would do similar to that

    Woodleighs are quite soft

    Yes I'd say so. I need to be careful, only have 40 odd projectiles left and Woodleighs are proving hard to get.

    I have a 50 box of 340gr woodleighs and from memory a similar amount of 350gr speer grandslams.
    Plus 5 packets of 400gr federal trophy bonded bear claws. Won't be touching those until I'm taking on some scrub bulls lil
