I hate to learn of this, when I started reloading in the late 1970's I began with a Speer #8 and a box of 130 grain HotCor bullets for my .270 WIN. I long ago switched to Hornady bullets due to local availability (most of the gunshops in this area are Hornady stocking dealers). I did use the 200 grain Speer HP "flying ashtray" in my 45 Colt for a home defense load - bought up about 800 of them 10 or 12 years ago when they were discontinued for the Gold Dot - but I still have plenty, however that's it when they are gone.
