"Deep curl" I believe is more marketed toward hunting.
Correct. I don't see Speer dumping the GoldDot name, it has as much brand recognition as HydraShok (Federal,) and, notoriously, BlackTalon (Winchester.) The GoldDot name continues on in their rifle line as well... for bullets intended for defense (or tactical) use.
GoldDot handgun bullets are plated/bonded... they also have their own specific loading data as provided by Speer.
Come to think about it, Speer doesn't put much of what they are suited for printed on their boxes.
Speer has tricky names for their bullets that are, basically, a description of what they are intended for. I'mma guess their 'Varmint' bullets are intended for, uh, varmint shooting, etc, etc.
