Hunters who choose to use Speer ammunition know that they can get the best products from this company that produces component bullets. The company started in 1943 in the heart of the Midwest where there were ample opportunities to know hunters and hunting. The reputation of the company is to be "a cut above the rest", and they have been working to maintain that standard of excellence for 68
. years. For hunters who want to do their own reloads, the Speer Reloading Manual #14 provides an excellent reference of how to do it, and the manual has photographs and charts within its 1150 pages of how-to information, with charts, illustrations, and photographs. The company understands the motivation of many shooters to save money on ammunition by reloading. It is an enjoyable hobby as well as one that allows hunters to make custom ammunition for their guns. For antique pieces that have not fired for a while, a custom reload may be the only way that it can be put back into use. Their site is located at http://www.speer-bullets.com/, and it is very nicely designed with colors that match a hunter's outfit.
