The Speer DeepCurl 44 Caliber 240 Grain Bonded JSP Bullets are engineered for handgun hunters who demand reliable expansion and deep penetration on medium to heavy game. This box of 100 delivers the stopping power and accuracy that 44 Magnum and 44 Special handloaders depend on. Built using Speer's electrochemical bonding process, the jacket and lead core are fused at a molecular level—a step beyond traditional cup-and-core construction that matters when you're afield.
What sets the DeepCurl apart is its pre-formed petal design, which initiates expansion consistently across a range of velocities and impact angles. The heavy 240-grain weight and controlled expansion work together to drive deep into vitals while retaining enough mass to guarantee penetration through bone and muscle on large-frame game. Whether you're loading for pursuit of hog, elk, or bear country defense with a handgun, this bullet's architecture is built to perform.
Reloaders appreciate the consistency that comes from Speer's quality control and the proven DeepCurl petal geometry—you're not experimenting with marginal designs. These are purpose-built rounds that have earned credibility among hunters who've bet their season on them. A box of 100 gives you enough to test loads, practice at the range, and build hunting ammunition with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
What handgun cartridges can I load these for?
The 240-grain 44 caliber bullet is designed for the 44 Magnum and 44 Special cartridges. Check your reloading manual for the specific powders and load data compatible with your firearm and desired velocity.
How does the electrochemical bonding affect performance?
Speer's electrochemical bonding process welds the jacket to the lead core at the molecular level, preventing separation during expansion and impact. This results in higher weight retention and more reliable deep penetration than traditional cup-and-core bullets, particularly on hard-muscled or heavy game.
Is this bullet suitable for hunting?
Yes. The DeepCurl is specifically engineered for hunting applications. The pre-formed petals and bonded construction are designed to provide reliable expansion and deep penetration on game, making it a solid choice for handgun hunters using 44 Magnum or 44 Special.
How many bullets are in the box?
Each box contains 100 bullets, giving you enough to develop loads, shoot practice groups, and assemble hunting ammunition.
