Range report deep curl 250
 

Hi shot my knight disc original, 100 grains loose 777 fff with harvester crush rib black, winchester 209 primer 100 yards 20mph gusts off of bench with very good result . thanks to this website i would have never known to try these bullets and harvester sabots the 3 shot group measured form center to center 1.24 inchesAttachment 18992

That's getting it done aarontriton. Good shooting! That load will do anything that needs doing.

Excellent group! Have never tried the Deep Curls, but soon will be.

My knight disc magnum 26 inch barrel just never has shot tight groups so when i get groups like this without even playing with it i get exciteded . i how these perform well i am switching from 300 sst hornady 's and have had great results i have taken over 10 deer with the sst and they usually bang flop or maybe 10 - 15 yard tracking. but have never grouped better than 2-3 inch 100 yard groups so i hope that the deep curls perform on the game like the sst 's and with the added bonus of being cheaper . I also tried the Hornady fbp 350 's yesterday with dismal accuracy oh well

I absolutely love the Deep Curls, they are the best bullet I've used, and surprisingly the cheapest too. I plan to order some more before the hunting season starts.

Very nice shooting. The Deep Curl shoot real well from my original Disc as well.

That triangle is a thing of beauty. Very nice shooting. My dad used the 250 Deep Curl to take a doe last year- the bullet performed very good.

I bought a couple of boxes of the 300 grain Deep Curls. I have only shot them once with my Knight rifle. And have not shot any game with them either.

I was very happy with the results of my first range test. And I am not a bit worried about what they will do to deer. We are talking a 45 caliber bullet that weighs 300 grains(at 1800 to 1900 fps). What deer would have a chance?? Even if the bullet didn't expand it is still a 1/2" hole?? In the shoulder it should knock a deer right off its feet!! Tom.

I am pretty happy that they did that well with the gusts of wind i was dealing with:)

Nice group. Shooting a group like that at 100 yards should give you some confidence going into the field after deer.

Does that deep curl load real easy in that knight? you might get even tighter groups with a MMp-24 or harvester smooth black, if those CR's are a bit loose. those gold dots are great bank for you buck bullets..

Very nice shooting. Kinda funny...we both were experimenting with Deepcurls for the exact opposite reason.

That's interesting that the SSTs weren't accurate out of your gun...isn't that why everyone likes the SST so much (accuracy)? Let me rephrase...2-3 MOA is plenty accurate for most hunting situations, but everyone likes to see a one-inch group. I was getting 1 MOA with my previous load, but wanted to make the move to a deadlier bullet (hence the Deepcurl). I wanted to use the 250gr, but my local store only had the 300gr in stock. I was actually expecting less accuracy out of the Deepcurls due to that massive hollow point, and was willing to live with 2 MOA if I could get there. I'm glad to see that I could achieve 3 shots touching at 100 yards. If you want to tighten your group up, I agree with builder...try a little tighter sabot. Those CRs are nice b/c they load like butter, but in my gun, well you can see the group difference on that target I posted.

I've had the opposite experience as the others. The Harvester short black sabots haven't worked as well as the crushed ribbed sabots for me. A friend and I switched to them, and in one gun the short black sabots loaded fine and were plenty accurate. However, in the other gun we just had a heck of a time loading it. We had to beat the ram rod down the bore as it was too hard to do it by hand after a shot.

So I decided to order some of the crushed rib sabots and tried in both. In the one where the bore was so tight, the crushed rib sabots loaded perfectly and shot accurately.

In the other gun the crushed ribbed sabots loaded easier than the short black ones too and to my surprise it shot just as well as it had with the shot black sabots.

This just goes to show every gun is different so some may like the crushed rib sabots and others may like the short black ones.

yes they did load easy . I will have some time this week to try a non crush rib sabot and see how they do. I have some tc black sabots any idea who makes those ?
