Speer DeepCurl handgun hunting bullets in 38 caliber, 158 grains hollow point (Speer part no. 4215), electrochemically bond the DeepCurl jacket to the lead core, a process Speer uses to build what it calls the toughest, most accurate handgun hunting bullet possible. Pre-formed petals on the hollow point cavity expand reliably and consistently on impact, and the bullet’s high weight retention ensures deep penetration on heavy-bodied game rather than a bullet that sheds weight and stalls early. Handgun hunters chasing deer-class or larger game with a 38-caliber revolver get a purpose-built hunting bullet rather than a repurposed self-defense load.
