Default Deep Curl vs XTP MAG

Went to the range this morning and shot my inline. Wanted to see the difference in the two bullets. Well needless to say I cant really find a difference besides the expansion. The Deep Curl seems to "Curl" and expand bigger. Which is good and bad. I like the bigger expansion yet I wonder how much more damage it will do to the meat. (I just hate throwing meat away). So at 50 and 100 yards there is no real difference to point of impact of the two 300 grain bullets. Wasn't my best day of shooting I know I can do better. But its been a couple of months since I've shot my inline. So again 90 grains of BH209, W209 primers, Crushed Rib Sabots, and a mixture of 300 grain XTP MAG and Speer Deep Curl bullets. It is nice to know that I can pick up either bullet and know it will hit the same. I think though I will try this hunting season with the Deep Curl or atleast one deer with them. See how far they go and how much damage they do. The two bullets really don't have a price difference. Had one flyer at 50 and 100. They were my first shots at each range. I don't know why I do that.
