Weldcore Soft Nose

Weldcore – the secret to maximum retained weight and reliable controlled expansion. All Woodleigh Round Nose, Protected Point, Semi-Point and Flat Nose bullets are constructed with pure lead cores using the Weldcore technology.

Woodleigh Weldcore Soft Nose are made from 90/10 gilding metal (90% copper: 10% zinc) 1.6mm thick. All jackets are made by deep drawing through several processes and are specifically profiled internally for optimum jacket wall taper. This gives them the feature of reliable controlled expansion at various impact velocities.

Maximum retained weight is obtained by fusing the pure lead to the gilding metal jacket, hence the name "Weldcore". This minimizes fragmentation of the nose section as it mushrooms, so that deep penetration for rapid and humane killing of tough animals is obtained.
