With shortages in mind I made a play
for some special .454 Casull jacketed bullets. I have see the after effects of soft jacket .45 Colt projectiles failing when pushed so hard. My .454 "Casual" loads will all sport cast bullets. The hand numbing hunting loads will more than likely be jacketed. That way I can tell their load levels from across the room and not likely to forget it.
Have any of the Misfits used the .45 cal. 300 gr. Speer "deep curl" line of projectiles?
Speer Deep Curl
I grabbed 500 Speer Deep Curl 300 grain 454 during a special sale last summer that I will be using in my FA 454 this fall. I also have several of the Freedom Arms 300 grain JSP, but haven’t shot any.
I took two animals last fall with the 240 grain Speer Deep Curl in my 44 magnum. Outstanding performance.
The Speer deep curl is all I use in my 41GNR#2
It is the same bullet as the Gold Dot, just got a new name. They expand to the cannelure on soft tissue. If the hit bone they peal the head off the mushroom and act like a solid and keep bushing through. ![[image]](images/uploaded/2021071021291760ea112d24ea4.jpg)
The slug on the left passed through both shoulders of a 150 lbs hog and broke the hip on an other 150 lbs hog. The one on the right went caty corner, shoulder to hind quarter on a fat whitetail doe that was quartering
