Default 240 Grain Deep Curl Hollowpoint

This morning this bullet was shot through carpet, plywood, and 5 water jugs. Range was 25 yard. Powder charge was 80g Blackhorn.

















The photo shows the jugs in the order they were before the shot. One can see the first two jugs are pulverized. The next three basically have a hole in, and a hole out. The sixth jug has a scar where the bullet hit, and bounced off, but it wasn't holed. The bullet was found about 5' behind, and off to the side of the horse.















The bullet weighs 239.1 grain.

About $28 for 100 bullets, best bang (flop) for your money. But only you can find them in stock somewhere.

That bullet is one of the best of all the bullets I've tested. I love it!

Works awesome on game too. Only problem, like Steve said....they are hard to find right now. Thanks for the report Ron!
