What is your opinion on the hunting/game taking ability of a 180 grain Speer Deep Curl?
I don't know Cayugad. But I sure intend to find out next Fall and hope to be able to post a detailed harvest report on a nice fat doe.

By the way, the one-inch blue barrel on my .45 LRH Sinful Sister Renegade shoots better with the Harvester smooth sabots (H4540B) than it does with the crush ribs (H4540BR)

I have no idea of the velocity of 95 grains of 3f on that bullet but I would guess it would be pushing that somewhere in the 1800 fps .. maybe?
I checked my file and don't have a velocity reading for a 95 grain load. But here are the readings I got with 85 grains of GOEX FFFg.




are these rifles normally this flat shooting?
I have my 85 grain load sighted in for "dead on" at 100 yards.
It hits three quarters of an inch high at 50,
a half inch high at 75,
one inch low at 125,
and four inches low at 150.
