Speer Ammo For Sale
Overview of Speer Ammo
With a talent for all things mechanical, Richard “Dick” Speer started CCI (Cascade Cartridge, Inc.) in 1951, after realizing his brother Vernon’s success with Speer Bullets. Dick’s experience as a machinist at Boeing Aircraft’s Seattle plant gave him the ability to produce quality cases, which began in a small room at his brother’s Speer Bullets plant.
Speer and his partner Arvid Nelson eventually discovered a demand for component primers, which were in short supply after WWII. With the intention of building primers for hobby reloaders, their first shipment was actually to fulfill a military contract. Speer went on to create non-corrosive and non-mercuric sporting cartridges for reloaders.
Rising popularity led Speer to purchase a large chicken ranch just a mile from his brother’s plant. With a farmhouse for an office and a renovated chicken coop for a production facility, Speer added manufacturing buildings and expanded the product line. This farm-turned-plant continues to produce ammunition to this day.
Today, Speer Ammunition is a subsidiary of Vista Outdoor and is known for its effectiveness in personal defense and training. The iconic Gold Dot® line is touted as the number-one load for law enforcement, and the same performance can be found in Gold Dot Personal Protection and Short Barrel®. In 2009, it was reported that a $14 million contract provided Speer Gold Dot 9mm ammo to all 250,000 police officers in France – along with French Gendarmerie, French Customs, and French Corrections. For detailed performance testing and real-world results, check out our Speer Gold Dot 9mm review.

This ammo performs great, accurately, and I had zero malfunctions in my AR-10 with it. I will also say ammo.com is such a convenience for me since where I am has very limited options for ammo. Fair pricing as well ????????

Proven reliability, accuracy and a very reasonable price. A ten shot group at 200 under 1.5 inches from a rest and slow fire (ten in two minutes) a 10× power scope setting. Clean burning ammo from a M1A " loaded" NM 22 inch barrel and double set trigger.

I wasn’t able to shoot this ammo for about a month after ordering it and I was slightly concerned that it would malfunction but the ammo did great. Had a blast shooting and went through about 200 rounds yesterday, looking forwards to the rest of the ammo being shot.

In a 50 round box, I found that these actually perform much better than the ammo I was trained on. I know my training ammo was just “ target ammo”…but there is a big difference between the two. This will be my stock up self defense ammo for certain.

I used this ammo to break-in a new 380 semi auto, and it did the job. I put the first 50 rounds through the weapon and had 2 FTF's. The receiver failed to seat fully causing a miss fire. I tapped it forward and it fired. By the time I fired all 100 rounds, the weapon worked perfect. Worked great for me.
