Default 270g Deep Curl

The last time i used these bullet was the last year i hunted 2 states. It was an impressive killer. Every deer dropped like a rock. Some dropped right now, and were not hit in bone other than ribs. It seems to me, it may have killed 7 deer that year.

These bullet are inexpensive, and seemingly easy to find.

Pictured are 3 photo of the same target shot at 100 yard. First picture was taken Wednesday. The second yesterday, and the last this morning. Rifle was the dream season with the rear sight replaced with the FP peep sight. Load was 90g BH, crush rib sabot, W209 primer. Each day, the first shot was through a cold clean barrel.

















Hopefully, if i draw a tag, i will be using this rifle and load early this fall in a muzzy only hunt. The groups aren't so worthy, but what mostly interests me is where the first shot on a cold clean barrel lands. The trigger puller is old, with old eyes, and has difficulty seeing the front sight. A fire made for difficulty shooting this target; the highway was closed, which necessitated back country travel.
