[QUOTE="Mike027, post: 738833, member: 5816"] Hi gang this past fall I moved up to a 180 grain bullet in my 30-06 for elk hunting in Idaho. I settled on the Speer Deep Curl. I worked up an accurate load at 2805 fps. I did not get an elk but did shoot a nice mule deer. I also used the same gun and load here in Michigan and took 2 whitetails. In all 3 deer there was a huge amount of blood damage around the entrance and exit wounds. I mean it was a bloody mess and the worst I have ever seen. These deer were shot at distances that varied from about 80 yards out to 250. These bullets give me great confidence as critter stoppers but I don't like to lose meat if I can help it. Has anyone else had similar experiences With the Deep Curls? Could this be a result of the velocity? I had really good luck with the Speer Hot Core. I thought that would be my go to bullet but they have replaced it with the Deep Curl. Thanks for any suggestions. Mike [/QUOTE]
