Speer Ammo, They have a Facebook page and had an article about the Gold Dot bullet performance.
So I decided to write this on their page;
QuoteSpeer, please make the 200 grain 10mm Gold Dots available as components for handloaders!
QuoteSpeer Ammo Wade, thanks for reaching out with this idea. We'll send this suggestion over to our product development team for consideration. Thanks!
QuoteThanks, many of the 10mm enthusiast still like the 200 grain weight and are wanting to see these to handload...

Also Alliant has their newest 2018 data books available as PFD (downloadable) or you can write them for a copy... also data is online as well.

Get them while you can... ;D
Thanks for the heads up, I will see if I can add my 2c to speer's FB page
I posted. :) The more the merrier.
I asked for the 200 Gold Dot (unless they could give me a 210-220 also).. I got this in return:
Speer Ammo
Barry, we do have the Gold Dot bullets 10mm in the 200gr. Check out SKU# 54000 on our site!
I still don't see it, and replied saying same.
Barry they have the 200 grain Gold Dot's as loaded in their Speer ammo but not as a component for handloading. (YET!)
Cabalas was the store that was selling the Speer ammo as loaded, not sure if other stores were selling the ammo...
I guess by asking them to sell the bullets, they took "bullets" as "ammunition". Maybe I should've gritted my teeth and called them "heads". (That's like fingernails on a chalkboard for me.)
In my reply, I sent a link to the (component) bullets page where the 200s would be if they sold them. Maybe that will clear it up.
