I know this isn't muzzleloading info, but FYI for you handgun hunters... This is an email conversation I had with Speer on the availability of Speer DC handgun ammo and bullets.
Me:
I have not needed to buy Speer Deep Curl ammo for a while, but need to this year. I've tried other ammo, but out of my guns, the Speer gets the best accuracy. When will the 240gr 44 mag ammo be available in the market. Also, I use the 44 cal 270gr DC bullet in my muzzleloader, but have not been able to find the bullets for some time. When will they be available as well?
Speer:
The Deep Curl line of hunting ammunition has gone to the Federal Fusion product line. The 270 gr DeepCurl bullet is very popular for a number of uses, look for it by #4461, when made the product ships to the oldest order. The Distributor ships to the Retailer based on his orders. When and where the product finds its way to a shelf is unknown to us. The best solutions for getting product is to purchase it on-line or place an order with a Retailer so when the product arrives it has your name on it.
Me:
Thank you for the reply. When looking at Federal's website, I'll do see 44 mag with a 240 grain soft point, but not the Deep Curl hollow point. Can you confirm if the soft point offering uses a Deep Curl bullet?
Speer:
Go to the Fusion website for a bullet which near identical to the DeepCurl.
