Default Speer Deep Curl

Anyone tried them? I've been loading 160 gr. mag tips in my 280, they work great on deer. Now I can't find them anywhere so I'm looking for feed back on the deep curls.

I'm pretty sure the deep curl is nothing more than the Federal Fusion bullets. Great bullet for deer sized animals.

I was told by a tech. from Speer that the deep curl was NOT the same as a Federal Fusion. But go figure.????????

I tried e mailing and calling speer about the new deep curl 90 Gr. bullet in 243 cal. had no luck.
I just ordered some remington 100 gr CLSP for the 243 cal.I read a lots of guy swear by this bullet
I was just told the barrrel twist after I placed my order on the mohawk is 1 in 9 Dam I could gotthe speer 105 grain

The biggest difference in the federal fusion and the deepcurl, The deep curl has a dimple on the flat base side and the fusion is boat tail. They are both made by electrochemically plating the copper to the lead. The jacket thickness may very between the two, that I do not know.

As one of the former, I can tell you with all certainty that you do not need to worry about the latter.
