Finding the Deep Curl for sale isn't likely. They may be advertised as a 29 cent bullet, but it matters not. Finding a unicorn, may be easier than finding a Deep Curl, other than 45 acp bullets. Anybody seen a unicorn lately? A yeti?

I think it would be better to test bullets that are currently available. That way if someone liked the results they could try the bullet themselves. Doesn't matter how good a bullet is; if it cant be found it doesn't matter .

You guys make a good point. So how about the readily available 240 grain XTP at 27¢ each?

Still, it would be interesting to see how a 240 grain Deep Curl would perform on a unicorn, or a yeti.

Just be very careful verifying your targets and for God's sake, don't try to shoot Bigfoot. It could very well be my knuckle dragging brother out there. The resemblance is astounding

The all-copper Barnes XPBs I mentioned were 13.99 for 20.
