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.

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