Saw this over on the Nosler forum this morning, looks interesting but not in the caliber or grain bullet that I want. Looks like Speer may be getting into the polymer tip game. I've shot lots of Speer bullets and still do and have always gotten excellent results in both accuracy and on game.

Looks like Speers version of the Accubond.

One thing is for certain. If you try them and like them, buy a chit load of them. They’ve discontinued a lot of pretty good stuff.

Agree!, they discontinued several that I used exclusively. 120gr hot-cor .257 120gr hot-cor .264 Also had a great load worked up with the .257 deepcurls that got yanked as well. May be others that I'm not aware of.

I agree on all counts, I hope they have all the problems behind them now too. Glad they got away from ATK.

Just looking at Vista's brands, I'd think they would have to be much more consumer oriented than ATK was.

Vista Outdoor appears to be an independent, publicly traded company which was spun off from ATK in 2014. https://vistaoutdoor.com/brands/

No .277 or .284 cal Impact bullets. Just how serious can one be without these in your initial lineup of bullets...
