No personal experience, but have heard the .300 deep curls have dispatched Elk quite effectively.

I cant wait to try em out. Great Pics! As soon as the 2 1/2' of Snow with 1" of Ice on Top starts to melt Im gonna get out and try some, could be awhile though

Here's one I recovered from a doe last weekend.

Rem 700ML 90g T7 powder 250g deep curl
she was about 130yds.

A thing of beauty Nolehoe. Congratulations on the doe.

Where did you hit her? Did she drop or run?

OK... we are talking Gold Dot/Deep Curls again so I think it might be OK to bring this picture up again.

These bullets were shot into the raised portion of a water bar on a road. The water bar was 95% Palouse soil type - clay. It was completely saturated with water from melting snow and rain (mud). It really is a good medium to test bullet performance. I believe it to be more destructive on a bullet than shooting an animal even shooting through a big bone.

This was a 100 yard shot with a muzzle velocity above 1700 fps. for both weights

Hey Semi,

hit her center mass right behind front shoulder, quartering towards me slightly. The bullet hit a rib and turned a little exiting between 2nd and 3rd ribs (counting from the last rib) and was caught by the skin. there were half a dozen smaller exit wounds from bullet frags and bone. the entrance wound was quite graphic, but a fragment of some sort penetrated her diaphragm. the punctured diaphragm along with no exit (through the skin) and the entrance being mid-ways up accounted for a sparse but followable blood trail. She lit out of there like somebody stuck a hot iron to her butt. Went about 100 yds before dropping any blood and another 60 or so before going down. will post a pic later and you can kinda see where I hit her.

I carry gold dots in 9mm and 40SW. They are an awesome round and hold together very well. I've done a bunch of testing with them in 9mm and 40cal and they always open up like that. Another good round is the Federal HST but Federal doesn't sell just the bullets.

That is very cool. Great report. Awesome bullet performance.

Here is the pic
