Today I came across some Speer DeepCurl bullets for my 270. I was looking for a heavier bullet that was actually available and fit what I was looking for.
Preferably bonded, reasonably high BC (for 270 hunting bullets), not polymer tipped and cheaper than Nosler Accubonds ($40) for a box of 50 locally.
These look an awful lot like Speer Gold Dot rifle bullets. Apparently they are very similar. While looking for load data it seems like the DeepCurl uses it's own load data apart from traditional data. Of course this bullet is discontinued and the load data no longer available.
The topic of this discussion is. How different is the load data compared to traditional copper jacketed bullets? The only two powders I have right now suitable for a 270 Win are Reloder 17 and H-4350. My goal is to get these bullets to a velocity of 2900 FPS. That's a bit fast for the two powders I have I think. Although, With 130 grain bullets I was able to attain 3100 fps with relative ease and no pressure signs to speak of.
I have been doing all of my load development at a seating depth of Jam minus .025" and then doing a seating depth test. This way I know I am reducing pressure as I move further away from the lands.
Also if anyone has any of the load data that Speer published for these bullets in 270 Win, I would greatly appreciate your willingness to share it with me.
