I started out my reloading career with Speer 80 grain spitzers in a 788 6mm over 35 years ago. Loved that bullet on varmints and it wasn't too hard on fur. Over the years I used a lot of Speer bullets in a lot of calibers and had good results with them. When I started putting together my 6mm/222, I was disappointed to discover they weren't producing the old 80 grain spitzer any more. Thought it would be a good fit for the little wildcat.
I always liked the half jacket semi-wadcutter bullets they made for handguns. I shot a lot of them through various 44 mags. I haven't seen them in a few years.
It seems unfathomable to me that in these times when a bullet maker can sell every bullet they can possibly produce, that they are dropping any from their line up. It's almost as if Speer has lost interest in producing bullets. I have to agree they seem to have lost focus and direction.
