250 Grain Deep Curl
Lee requested these bullet be tested. This morning the Deep Curl Bullet was shot through the set of carpet, shelf, and into the jugs. Range was 26 yard. Powder charge was 80g Blackhorn.
The photo shows the set arranged as they were before the trigger was pulled. It is obvious the first, and second jugs were destroyed. The third jug was holed, and ruined for use as a target again. All of the bullet was found on the ground. It is in pieces, but the core never separated from the jacket, the bullet just busted. The weight of all the found pieces is 161.6 grain.

I used that bullet for a while and it killed every deer I shot with it. But it seldom made two holes. After trying 300 grain XPTs and Deep Curls I stopped using the 250's completely.
