Elmer FudSpeer " Deep Shock " Bullets
I have three boxies of .30 Cal. 180Gr.
Speer Deep Shock bullets they had out for a short time, a few years ago. I have never used them. Thinking about working up a load for my 300 Win. Mag. using these bullets. The load will be used mainly for whitetail.
Has anyone had any experence with the bullets?
Please let me know what you think.
Thanks in Advance

CazadorUsed a 165gr Deep Shock last fall on a Colorado mulie at about 200 yds from my .30-06 and he went down like right now. I have three '06's and all 3 group at 1" or less with a load of 58gr of IMR 4350. When I saw how well this combination worked in my rifles, I bought every Deep Shock I could find and am set for life.

nedMust be a strange story behind these, I also heard they were dropped because they were difficult to make and they never caught on. What's strange is why did they ever go into production if they were so difficutlt to make and I can't believe the very short time they were actualy available was long enough to determine if they would catch on or not. I have a box of .308 165s but have never used them.

Terry BlauwkampI've used them in both factory Federal ammo, and have some 165 and 180 gr for reloading.
They sure seem to work well on game, but have "lost interst" in them, because I can't get any more.
Will sell the 165 and 180's if anybody want them.
Send me a PM
