Newbie - 300 Win Mag and Deep Curl

[Snakehunter]

Hi,
Just got my reloading press last week along with some Reloder22 and CCI Primers. I will be loading up my .300 Win Mag. Possibly 9mm down the road.
Anyhoo - Currently I am shooting factory Fusion in 165g and saving my brass.
I like everything I read about the Fusion bullet and the only thing in reloadable bullets I have found is the Speer Deep Curl. My research shows that it is pretty much identical to the Fusion.
My question is about using the Reloder22. I can't seem to find data for it in the 165gr loads, only for 180gr. Does anybody here load for this combo?
Thanks,
Glen

My manual says start grain 73.5 (2933 f/s) to a max of 79.4gr (3135 f/s) @ 60800 PSI
The min COAL is 3.34".
This data is for all lead core jacketed bullets of 165 gr weight.
My gun likes 77gr of RL22 in win brass with a winny mag primer, this for my hornady 165 gr interlocks. I had to up the load to 77.6 gr for the sweet spot for the other 165 gr bullet I use in my .300wm - 165 gr GMX, which states use lead core jacketed data)
Hope this helps. Others will chime in with their other pet loads.

The Speer manual is showing 73-77 grains for both the 165s and 180s, but they are also calling both compressed which they aren't. My favorite .300 sporter is pushing 180s a bit faster than the Speer book is claiming for 165s, with charges lighter than listed as maximum for either.You may not want to rush into those last couple grains.

Keep in mind that your Federal brass may lay down and die on you with the hotter loads.The .300s like to be leaned on, and Federal cases can quickly become 1 shot wonders.
