patw,
Yep, I think they are done. I really don't know why except that a new fangled red plastic tip bullet looks better and sells better I suppose! Most people seem to act like crows, if it's shiny and new, they will pick it up! New and improved you know. But, unless a bullet is designed to perform in a slower situation, i.e., the Contender and 30-30 Winchester cartridge, it might shoot well but most likely not expand. The 130 SSPSP bullets expanded well when shot from my Contender chambered in the 30-30 Winchester. And so it goes. SO, I solved the new and inproved problems--I started shooting cast bullets of the old standby molds of days gone by. Many of these bullet designs have survived for nearly 1/2 century or maybe longer. I wonder why???!!! Look at gun shows and the likes. You might find a box or two of the SSPSP's collecting dust. Good-luck...BCB
