Wv hunter. The reason those gold dots/deep curls came apart like that is because all of the DC/GD are meant for lower velocity. From the 250gr and under their max is about 1500fps. The only one rated for higher speeds is the 300gr deep curl/gold dot bullet. The ones under 300gr are meant for loading in the 45 colt/acp and for those velocities. Firing those out of a muzzleloader will push those (250's and under) way past their max velocity ceiling. Those shockwaves (which I really like) are good performers and and are designed for those ML higher speeds and are built to withstand high impact velocities. Good tests. I like to see what others find out through testing and show their results.
Good shooting
