These Speer Deep Curl bullets are .475 diameter, 325-grain soft point projectiles built for handgun hunters loading the .480 Ruger and .475 Linebaugh. At 325 grains, this is a heavy-for-caliber hunting bullet aimed at medium and large game where deep penetration and a controlled-expansion soft point matter more than flat trajectory. Each box holds 50 component bullets for handloaders building their own hunting rounds. If you run a big-bore revolver and want a bullet that holds together through bone and heavy muscle, this is the kind of projectile that handles that job. Browse our full lineup of reloading bullets for other calibers.
Speer's Deep Curl line uses a uni-cor construction, where the jacket is electrochemically bonded to the lead core. That bond keeps the jacket and core working together on impact, which limits jacket separation and helps retain weight as the bullet drives through dense tissue. The soft point nose initiates expansion at handgun velocities while the bonded core holds the mushroom together for a deep wound channel. The .475 diameter is correct for both .480 Ruger and .475 Linebaugh chambers, and the 325-grain weight sits in the heavier end of the range for these cartridges, favoring penetration over speed. For handloaders, that bonded design also tends to deliver consistent recovered weights across a velocity spread, which makes load development more predictable.
Pick these when you're hunting hogs, black bear, or deer-sized and larger game with a big-bore handgun and you want a bullet that punches deep and stays intact. The 50-count box gives you enough volume to work up a load and still keep a hunting supply on hand. Match them with the right powder and large pistol or large pistol magnum primers and you've got a serious field load for your .480 Ruger or .475 Linebaugh. For heavy-caliber rifle hunting projectiles, take a look at our large-bore options as well.
These are .475 diameter, 325-grain bullets sized for the .480 Ruger and .475 Linebaugh. They are component bullets for handloaders, so you supply your own brass, powder, and primers to assemble finished hunting cartridges for those cartridges.
Yes. Speer's Deep Curl line uses a uni-cor process that electrochemically bonds the jacket to the lead core. That bond keeps the jacket and core together on impact, limiting separation and retaining weight for deep penetration through heavy game.
This box contains 50 component bullets. That is enough to work up a hunting load and keep a supply on hand for the field once you've settled on your charge.
The heavy 325-grain soft point and bonded construction favor penetration, making it a fit for hogs, black bear, and deer-sized and larger game taken with a big-bore handgun where deep, controlled expansion matters.
These are designed for handgun velocities in the .480 Ruger and .475 Linebaugh. The soft point is tuned to expand reliably at revolver speeds, so they are intended for big-bore handgun hunting rather than rifle use.
