Spear Grand Slam bullets?

I wrote an article about 30 years ago for Handloader Digest where I tested a pile of bullets for terminal performance, mostly with 30 caliber but also others. Photos of a few Grand Slams are attached as is the diagram from Speer regarding the Grand Slam. The bullets were tested at various velocities. the conclusion with the Grand Slams was that they were better than the standard cup & core bullets IF the velocity didn't exceed the bullets limits- which when exceeded resulted in core separation- however the separation was well after the bullet would have killed the animal if shot at any "normal" angle. These were the original edition of Grand Slams.

Sir, I think I have been writing to you about the purchase of the HK 639 rifle under an email "Tt Jake." If this is you, then I am truly interested. I am just trying to verify identify. Tt Jake is asking for a cash transaction. No disrespect intended, Just trying to verify who I am talking to. Thank you. Respectfully. Dan

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
