I would like to ask, if somebody knows, why cartridges Nitrex Speer Grand Slam are not produced any more. | ||

Speer is now owned by ATK Alliant, the same company that owns Federal Cartridge and Alliant powders. I thinkthey figure it was counter productive to have more than one branch of the company producing ammo. ------------------------------------ The trouble with the Internet is that it's replacing masturbation as a leisure activity. ~Patrick Murray "Why shouldn`t truth be stranger then fiction?

According to Speer, that is axactly why they dropped Nitrex. Remember, forgivness is easier to get than permission. | |||

That situation existed back when Blount owned all the companies before ATK, already. So, go figure. It's too bad, the Nitrex was a nice product for non-reloaders (5-round boxes, nickel cases, etc.). I believe they've simply moved the Grand Slam into a Federal load. The real work of men was hunting meat. The invention of agriculture was a giant step in the wrong direction, leading to serfdom, cities, and empire. From a race of hunters, artists, warriors, and tamers of horses, we degraded ourselves to what we are now: clerks, functionaries, laborers, entertainers, processors of information. - Edward Abbey | |||
