Speer set up a Web site several years ago and many of us urged them to start making .204 caliber bullets, but they ignored our requests. I am reluctant to even try these new bullets because I am having GREAT success with the 39 gr. Sierras, the 40 gr. Nosler BTs and also had success using the 32 gr. V-Max and 35 gr. FBHP Bergers. I guess I'm trying to say that Speers has come into the market with too little and they are too late for me.

The BC is nothing to shout about with that 39 grainer, either, .202 :roll: isn't as good as a 32 Hornady, Nosler or Sierra :( .

Midway is supposed to email me when they get some in, and I'll probably try some, because "it needs to be done", but they are, as noted, a day late and a dollar short, in several ways. TNTs are usually "speed limited" too, which is sorta dumb considering the velocities of most good .20 cartridges.

I DID read where Speer is claiming to have some plastic-tipped bullets "in the works", probably for NEXT year, which means they'll only be about 20 years behind the times.
