I bought a couple hundred for the 7 rem mag and 400 for the 243, 175 gr and 90 grain. I should get to trying them within a month or so, I am working right now In edmontoon. I hope they shoot as well as advertised. I can get close to 3000 fps with moly coated 175 grain bullets out of the the big 7, that will be pretty flat with a bc of just about .5, I should do close to the same with the 243, and they have a bc .4, they should be pretty flat also. Now I have another couple reloading projects..
 
The price is right, but I have not heard a lot of feedback on their performance at the range or on game. was going to buy some 225 Deep Curl for the 338 WM but opted for the 200gr Hotcore instead. Considering Partitions are $70 for 50 I needed to find a different bullet for range fodder.

225gr DC $25/50 200gr HotCore $22/50 at Wholesale Sports

Let us know how they work for you.

While they are in the cheaper range, if you look at the construction, they are not just simple bullets. I hope they group as well as they say they will. but like anything else, if I like them I will buy a stash of them.. you never know when they will not be available.. I used 303 grand slams, and while I still have a few, they are no longer available and have not been for some time.

I will let you know.. I will do a bit of penetration testing on trees too. that is my run of tests.. accuracy, velocity, and see how much tree they will shoot through..Good thing BC has lots of trees
 
I use 180 gr deep curls in my 300 win mag , they group good and tight if I do my part . I shot one deer last year with this load and it was devastating.bullet hit a bone and took a front quarter off,my 8 year old tracked it.I also shot some coyotes with it and no big exit holes , probably no expansion on thin skin.
 
At. 2900 fps they went into 3/4" at 100 yards, would love to shoot something, that is with the big 7
 
I use the 165gr. Deep Curls in my .300 WinMag. I don't have my load data as I'm on the road but I use Reloader22 powder. It shoots 2" groups at 200 yards off the bench out of my cheap-ass Remington 770. Only game taken with it so far was a doe at 150 yards and another at 80. No bullets recovered, but they did the job while zipping though.
