Sheesh!! Another bullet supply will dry up, and a quality bullet at that.
I shoot their 220 grain 8mm bullet and the 174 grain .311.
They seem to stay together well. Glad I have options that work well.

Sad news indeed. Woodleigh are a very important bullet supplier for unique firearms like double rifles and antiques, so I hope they can recover and rebuild.
LW- im hearing there is no plan on re tooling! il keep posted on this though
wow that is even worst than everyone can even thnk ,,,...
Yeah!! roumers still circulating today of NO rebuild.
i got another 100X 7mms, sold out of where i get them from. no 30 cals.

in which il post up one day
Since it's not re-posted here I'll update the best info I found so far on the net.
- factory burned to the ground.
- uninsured.
- machinery will have to be assessed to see if enough is salvageable to do any future production. This will take time to do.
- there is a considerable amount of stock stored in bulk drums, that needs finishing touches such as polishing which there is currently not a capability to do. It may be able to ship in the nearer future before any consideration of production.

I just checked the Woodleigh website and this is the message posted . . .
Factory Fire Rebuild Update
We have rebuilt our factory, and are well into the process of rebuilding our production machinery.
Our aim is to start production of new product by end of 2022, though it will be some time before we get our full range back into stock.
Thank you again for your messages of support, and physical help from some amazing true blue Aussies

Geoff & Shirley McDonald.
