Online pricing may vary from in-store pricing. The Woodleigh handles raking shots relatively well but is prone to lose a great deal of its sectional density if used to take Texas heart shots at close ranges.

The Ruger cartridge may not be ideal for very light framed game or the very best for extremely heavy game, but as a general-purpose cartridge it is extremely well balanced.

The rules here are rather simple; the more the momentum of the bullet is interrupted on impact the greater the energy transfer (hydraulic force). For a couple of hundred bucks, a good gunsmith can tune the action and refine the trigger. How is the recoil with DG rounds? This force is nothing more than the acceleration of water away from the path of the bullet, hopefully leading to a wound channel larger than the bullet diameter.
