That's getting it done aarontriton. Good shooting! That load will do anything that needs doing.

My knight disc magnum 26 inch barrel just never has shot tight groups so when i get groups like this without even playing with it i get exciteded . i how these perform well i am switching from 300 sst hornady 's and have had great results i have taken over 10 deer with the sst and they usually bang flop or maybe 10 - 15 yard tracking. but have never grouped better than 2-3 inch 100 yard groups so i hope that the deep curls perform on the game like the sst 's and with the added bonus of being cheaper . I also tried the Hornady fbp 350 's yesterday with dismal accuracy oh well

I absolutely love the Deep Curls, they are the best bullet I've used, and surprisingly the cheapest too. I plan to order some more before the hunting season starts.

Very nice shooting. The Deep Curl shoot real well from my original Disc as well.

That triangle is a thing of beauty. Very nice shooting. My dad used the 250 Deep Curl to take a doe last year- the bullet performed very good.

I bought a couple of boxes of the 300 grain Deep Curls. I have only shot them once with my Knight rifle. And have not shot any game with them either.

I was very happy with the results of my first range test. And I am not a bit worried about what they will do to deer. We are talking a 45 caliber bullet that weighs 300 grains(at 1800 to 1900 fps). What deer would have a chance?? Even if the bullet didn't expand it is still a 1/2" hole?? In the shoulder it should knock a deer right off its feet!! Tom.

Nice group. Shooting a group like that at 100 yards should give you some confidence going into the field after deer.
