I wish they’d crank out some 75 gr Gold Dot component bullets!
Will Munny: It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have.
The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming.

Shoot primarily Speer Grand Slams in the .270Win and 6.5x55mm, and Hot Cor in the 9.3x62mm.
No complaints.

Nice to see Speer’s top priority is supplying our tyrannical Government, The IRS, the ATF, the FBI, the USPS, etc. first, while we are sucking hind tit and can’t get ammo or components.
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

I heard it was being brought out by a foreign company. He never addressed ownership.
I have used Federal products in the past.

Yeah, rah rah rah. Jason sure wraps himself up in the flag and Second Amendment. The big money is government contracts. The rest of us? Primers at $100 a brick - if you can find them. Ammo scarcity because government is #1. Powder from essentially one distributor. Sadly, with consolations and buyouts, no competition gives ol’ Jas the freedom to stick it in and break it off. Rah rah rah.

I load and hunt with Speer bullets more than any other brand. They work well for me. Accurate and kill what I shoot.

Quit giving in inch by inch then looking back to lament the mile behind ya and wonder how to preserve those few feet left in front of ya. They'll never stop until they're stopped. That's a fact.

His messages often strike me wrong. Read the messages they put out to their shareholders about their increased ability to keep prices high etc. He talks about the 2nd amendment and then says his priority is those who will likely take it from us. Saying they support the police would have been sufficient. Jason often seems like an arrogant tool. Always trying to set everyone straight. Tone deaf wrong approach.

What internet malarky was he addressing?
The buy out, shortages, price gouging, hoarding by the company,,, what.
A lot of companies, but most Speer bullets have been unobtainable since Obama. What was his freakin point?

There are many industries that are Necessary to maintain National Security & Defense. Arms, Medicine, Building Materials, Farming/Ranching, Food Production/Equipment, Heavy Machinery, Electronics/Communications, Energy Production/Utilities/Grid, Ports, etc.
No major American companies in these fields should be allowed to sell to foreign entities, and it doesn't matter if their country is an 'ally', as those agreements are subject to change.

What difference does it make if a firearms company is US owned? The average firearms related business head is much more apt to be like William B. Ruger than Paul Buffoni. https://www.northeastshooters.com/x...ncels-contract-with-milwaukee-pd.199334/

When I started reloading (1973) Hornady was for paper punchers. They just didn't perform on game.
Speer was for beginners. They weren't that accurate and didn't perform THAT well on game!
Sierra provided a product that was about as accurate as it could get and performed flawlessly on game.
My "mentor" started me on Sierra. I've used some other brands over the years, but first serious work, I go back t9 Sierra.
...and I have OFS!

I do know the FIRST box I ever bought were Speer 6mm 90 FMJ bullets. Sierra game king line though has to be the biggest junk design ever. I"ve seen more erratic results from them that we just quit them period. Won't even try to try them again. The match king line is more reliable than the game king line. That said have shot a load of match kings downrange in competition over the years.

Game kings are typically bombs on even thin-skinned game like deer in my experience.
Sierra Game King isn't worth a consideration in my opinion for hunting considering the options available.

In 2014 this guy told me to my face that they were keeping 22 LR production low, in order to keep prices high. I'm sure that surprises nobody. He also promised a case of 22 LR as a tip for my buddy that guided him on that trip, he's still waiting lol. So take what he says with a massive grain of salt.
