Speer DeepCurl 45 Colt 250 Grain Bonded JHP Bullets (Box of 50)

Speer DeepCurl 45 Colt 250 grain bonded JHP bullets are purpose-built for handgun hunters who need reliable expansion and deep penetration on medium to heavy game. These jacketed hollow-points combine Speer's electrochemical bonding process—which fuses the jacket to the lead core—with pre-formed petals designed to expand consistently shot after shot. The result is a handgun hunting bullet that holds together through tough conditions and delivers the kind of terminal performance that turns opportunities into harvests.

The 250 grain weight is a classic choice for 45 Colt hunting loads, offering the velocity and energy window that works well in both modern single-actions and lever-actions. High weight retention means the bullet stays together and penetrates deep, a critical advantage when you're dealing with tough hide, bone, and vitals on deer-sized game and larger. If you're loading for hunting, not just plinking, these bullets earn their place in your brass.

Each box contains 50 bullets, enough for a solid session at the press or a meaningful hunting season. Reloaders who prioritize accuracy and terminal performance—not just volume—have trusted Speer's manufacturing consistency since World War II.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Speer DeepCurl bullets different from standard handgun bullets?

Speer bonds the jacket to the lead core using an electrochemical process, which creates a stronger bond than mechanical swaging alone. This bonding, combined with pre-formed expansion petals, ensures consistent, controlled expansion and high weight retention—critical for hunting applications where penetration and reliable terminal performance matter.

Are these bullets suitable for hunting?

Yes. The DeepCurl design with bonded construction, pre-formed petals, and high weight retention is specifically engineered for handgun hunting. The 250 grain weight is a proven choice for 45 Colt hunting loads on medium to large game.

What's included in the box?

Each box contains 50 loaded bullets ready for reloading into 45 Colt brass.

Can I use these bullets in both modern and traditional 45 Colt firearms?

Speer DeepCurl bullets are standard handgun reloading components compatible with any 45 Colt firearm. Always consult published load data and your firearm's manual to confirm safe loads for your specific gun.
