It is too bad...those were the original jacketed bullets made by Speer. I visited Alan Jones, who was the editor of the Speer reloading manuals through #13, back in 2003 and he said that those 6 bullets would be discontinued one day because the machine that was making them was the same machine that made them in the 1960s and once it could no longer be repaired the line would be gone.

Speer had that TMJ 220 grain Silhouette bullet that was discontinued when Metalic Silhouette Competition kinda fell off so no one was buying them any longer...if you look the Hornady 210 Silhouette bullet as well as the Sierra 220 also are no longer made. No customers...no bullets.

I have 1100 220s and 1000 200 left. The 220s were all loaded up to be used in a Freedom Arms 97 4.25". Once those have been shot up then the 200s will get loaded.

If you want to make your own contact Corbin. I emailed them and if I send them a bullet they will make the correct die.
