Speer bullets.

[SuperCub]

Seems that no one wants to sell Speer bullets anymore.

Nosler and Barnes gets marketed to death with full coverage. Hornady, Remington and WW get a meagre smattering here and there, but not much Speer at all.

How come?

Just picked up some 165 gr. Grand Slams last week. First time I seen them on the shelf in a couple of years.

30cal? ....... I've got 1/2 box here if you need them. They won't shoot in my 308. PM me if interested.

I think Epps has a good selection of Speer bullets if I remember correctly.

I should call them. I have a rifle coming from there. Could get some bullets thrown in with that.

Lebarons carry's them as well....from .22 to .45.

Speer is like Disco Stu........ They both don't advertise!

I havn't seen any on local shelves in quite some time. I din't realize they were around anymore except in name......

I've noticed Speer bullets are harder to come by lately too. I was looking for some target pistol bullets and had a heck of a time finding it. Even the big box stores like WSS, Cabela's, and Bass Pro doesn't carry much Speers. A local dealer called up Speers to order 10,000 bullets from them. They had none in stock and kept delaying a production run. So he asked if he upped the order to 20,000 if they would get production going. That didn't get their attention. So out of curiosity he asked about 50,000 bullets. They said they were too busy filling military contracts right now.

Do a lot of people out of province order from epps?

Here too, Speer seems to vanish from the scene. LeBaron have them, but as usual, they run out of stock quick and just keep popular (in their mind) calibers / bullet constructions. I've been lucky enough to grab some TBBC wich were in liquidation.

I’ve done allot of business with Epps. Excellent service with good people that will help when asked upon...

I'm looking for 22cal 70gr Speers. Don't see them listed in last yrs catalogue. They didn't bother to send one this yr.

They are also in the process of re-tooling to build their Deep Curl bonded bullets which will replace to Hot Core.

Could be a reason for some of it.

Awesome folks to do business with.
I live in BC and buy a lot from them, firearms, cast and jacketed bullets, dies, etc...

Game has gotten a lot tougher - you know, evolution.

I also like the Speer Grand Slam (old style) and Mag Tip.

 

[BigUglyMan]

They haven't really changed their bullets in years so why market the backside off them? Barnes, Hornady and Nosler have spent so much money to build a better mousetrap that they have to hype their product to try to recoup some costs.

FWIW P&D had a pretty decent selection of Speer last time I was in there. Should have looked for more 350gr .416" Mag-Tips. Great practice/NA hunting bullet (not NAA hunting bullet, because that would just be wrong).

I'll give them a try.

Thanks.
