It is amazing what that bullet can do. Thanks for sharing.

That is what I wanted to hear. I use Noslers in my 30-06 and they are the bomb on deer. Since I switched to Noslers, most deer don't run and the few that do don't get out of sight. I want the same performance for blackpowder.

One more question, are the Deep Curls now called Gold Dots or did the Gold Dots become Deep Curls? I see Gold Dots on the Gander Mountain website but no Deep Curls. Also, what sabots should I get for these? I have a Knight Revolution and TC Encore if that matters.

Oh, and thanks Ron, I know what I will be doing this off season. Sighting in my guns with Deep Curls. ;)

NICE WORK! Even though I don't shoot bullets like that is awesome! Looks like one hell of a deadly buleet when shot at prper range.

There called deep curls now on Speers site. since you have a knight and a encore, i would probably buy a pack of harvester crushed rib and a pack of hph-24 sabots. Midsouthshooters carries the bullets and the sabots.

My Extreme 50 preferred the the MMP HPH-24 with a 300gr and the 250gr worked well with a Harvester Black for sub 300gr bullets or Crushrib. The HPH-24 is fine with the 250gr but its a fairly long sabot.

The HPH-24 is fine with the 250gr but its a fairly long sabot.
One of the reason the petals are long on that sabot is so that they wil catch the air right out of the muzzle, open very rapidly and allow the bullet to leave the sabot very quickly. The 24 does not go down range as far as others.

Very impressive. Nice job Ron.
