Vernon Speer started making component bullets in 1943 because reloaders couldn't get the components they needed from the "big" ammo companies. Vernon's focus was always on the hunting rifle bullet, but he also built the first mass-produced jacketed handgun bullets for hunting and law enforcement and, in the 1960's, put those bullets into loaded ammo in the now-famous Lawman® line. Vernon understood shooters' needs, and reacted with quality products.
Over a half-century later, we still run the business that way. The original product lines have been expanded and new ones added. Hot-Cor™, Gold Dot®, Grand Slam®, TNT® — products all designed by shooters to delight other shooters with their performance and value.
