Woodleigh VS Swift A-frame on Cape Buffalo/

I don't see enough difference in them to worry about the actual performance. I would shoot the one I knew would be available at all times for my hunting, and the one that shot the best out of my gun with the least fouling.

A frames tend to foul some barrels pretty badly. None of mine are effected but I have heard this from a few other useres.

Aframes are deadly accurate. As Accurate as any bullet I have ever shot.

Woodys are difficult to find at times and seem to arrive from AUS at random so I'm not sure they would make my short list. Especially with the Nosler bonded core, the two types of Swifts, the TBBC's and the soon to be released Interbonds in 375 should be the way to go.

I have used the 300 grain Swift "A" Frames on all of the 15 African critters I have shot the biggest being an Eland at 270+ yards.   I agree with J.J. very accurate and I could not ask for better performance from a bullet.   I have only recovered three bullets all had 95% or better weight retention,   my vote would go to Swift.
There is no such thing as over kill!!!!  :-)
