No, i don't know why, however i do have a theory. It is my thought that Speer is supplying ammunition in large quantities. This is fully utilizing their bullet production line. If you look around you will see that the 230g Gold Dot is available some places, and was available at other places. To me this indicates the bullet production focused on this Gold Dot, and not on the Deep Curl.

Me, i haven't purchased the 300g Deep Curl for many moons, but i have purchased hundreds of the 230g Gold Dot here recently. These Gold Dot will not be used in my rifle, but are being utilized for shooting in pistols.

Once upon a time, i used the 300g Deep Curl for target practice. Not anymore. These days i use the readily available 300g XTP for shooting paper, except for the last couple three shots before hunting, with the Deep Curl.

The 300g Deep Curl put many a deer into our freezer, and is revered. Tests done to compare bullets show the Deep Curl is a mighty fine bullet. It is a bullet that is accurate, and it flies well too. For me, the bullet has no negatives.

Searching for a replacement led me to using the 250g Hornady Monoflex. Using the same powder charge as used for the Deep Curl, the monoflex flies almost exactly the same as the Deep Curl. The monoflex seems to be a little more accurate than the Deep Curl. The tests done this past summer indicate the monoflex has very good terminal performance.
