Vintage Speer Bullets

[djm]

Hi,

I picked up a minty vintage box of SPEER BULLETS at the Woodstock gun Show today.

They are marked .30 Caliber 150 Grain Type "WR" Soft Point Bullets.

Wondering what the "WR" means ? - They have a small flat meplat and the cannelure lines up perfectly for overall length alongside a loaded 150 Grain Winchester 30-30 Power Point Cartridge for comparison.

I'm guessing they are for reloading 30-30 WCF (?)

Does anyone have an old Speer manual for reference ?

The box looks like it's from the 1950's

Thanks for looking......Dave.

WR might stand for Winchster Rifle
here is the data from Speer Manual for Reloading Ammunition - 6th Edition - 1964
