I admit to living under a rock occasionally, but the recent acquisition of a Savage 23B in .25-20 caused me to load again for that caliber to feed the Savage and Win M92. It seems this perfect bullet for the caliber is discontinued! Exhaustive search found none, and not in the Speer Product List either.
I settled on a 70g Sierra Blitzking (with the plastic tip buffed off to allow magazine fit) in the 23B and am very happy with that. Any suggestions for the Winchester? I guess cast is a remaining option (Meister, etc.).

There’s 60 grain flat points available.
I prefer classic.

I’ve been done with Speer for a while. They discontinued a bunch of stuff.

Speer is pimping their new Gold Dot rifle bullet which I expect them to discontinue in a year. That seems to be their MO the last 10 years.

That absolutely sucks as it's a bullet I used to some effect in the .256 WinMag on javelina from a pistol. It comes out of a Marlin M 62 at abut 2280-2290 fps with the same load used in the pistol.
I guess I know what I'm looking for at the gun shows nest time.
