Speer Ammo For Sale
History 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.

I'm in no way an expert but I've fired 100 rounds of this ammo so far and am pleased with my purchase 4 inch grouping at 10 yards with my glock 37 which isn't bad for a 45. The ammo does smoke a little but there were no misfires, jams or duds.

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.

I have only shot about 150 rnds through the gun, and the only hiccup was a few jammings that I believe were caused by an off brand 25 rnd. capacity clip.

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.
