You can try working up a load based on these Speer projectiles from their website.
Here’s some info from Federal that you can probably use as well to start up something real nice

have you tried reaching out to the manufacturers to inquire on load data? I’d bet they would give you the info you’re looking for via email.
thanks for the quick reply and info. i havent reached out yet although it would likely be a better use of my time rather than spending hours scouring the interweb.
Speer has a reloading manual. You wouldn't need the very latest edition.
The DeepCurl projectiles are said to be very similar to their Hot-Cors, so you might want to find further confirmation that it's true, and use the Hot Cor loading data that's out there.

i have a speer manual but no info on deep curl. have seen a few editions online with no info. from what i have read the fusion and deep curl are the same bullet made by speer and that the bonding process is different than that of the guilding used in the hot cors. also the hot cor is a flat based cup n core type vs the fusion is a boat tail bonded type
I usually find a bullet’s load data based on the shape of the bullet if there is no specific data available.
The Deep Curl was previously referred to as the Gold Dot Hunting Line. Speer may have changed the name, again.
If you have a boat tail with a copper type jacket, you can likely use any data matching that description, provided that you do not seat it any deeper into the case—reducing space for the powder will raise the pressure. Most Speer, Hornaby, Sierra data out there is derived for a group of similar bullets. The powder numbers must ensure that all loads for the group are safe. In order to accomplish the safety factor, only the bullet that creates the most pressure can be have data provided which can take it to the max load possible. And those numbers are often reduced to provide a reasonable safety margin.
So, I can’t say that you should or should not do anything in particular to accomplish your reloading. I can say that I would use Speer data for any jacketed boat tail bullet of the same weight and shape, and would just start in the middle of the data.
You can also e-Mail Speer for some data….., rather than take the word of a stranger.

thank you for the reply.
thank you for the reply. the concern i had was from reading about higher pressures due to the fusion/deep curl/gold dots jacket composition. i am working up new pet load, getting away from nosler partions (i love them but hate how the tips deform easily in the magizine). i have done just as you stated regarding a middle of the road powder charge. will be testing loads over the next few days.
