Anyone willing to share load info/accuracy experiences with these bullets?
I see Speer has a load data chart out just for the deepcurl. Is this where others started with load development, or did some go off script and select other powders not on the Speer publication??
 
I tend to go with what the manufacturer used as a start, if i have any that are listed. Otherwise i may experiment if i have time otherwise ill likelihood just go buy a pound of whats on the list.

I dont have any experienced with the deepcurls, i do really like speer bullets tho.
 
Speer's Deep Curl brand is discontinued. Just an electro chemical bonded core(pre-formed lead core and a plated jacket) bullet anyway. It was the same idea as a Federal Fusion.
You do not need bullet or brand specific data though. Any 90 grain data will do nicely.
Been loading Speer 90 grain FMJ's for eons with IMR4350. Plan was to use 'em for fox after seeing one when I was new to hunting long ago. Makes a wee, tiny puncture hole in a ground hog. And, surprisingly, no exit wound at under 100 yards.
 
I've been using imr 4064 for my 100gr pills, sierra #1540's. I wanted to stay with 4064, but I saw this info on their site. Was curious if others went off spec sheet with different powders. Others out there say boron nitride coating can cause pressure issues with loads other than Speer listed??? Not looking for trouble, just curious what others may have used.
I do have win 760 on hand. Suppose I'll start there.
Thanks
