The Speer 22462GDB Gold Dot delivers consistent terminal performance in .224 caliber with its 62-grain soft point design. This premium ammunition combines Speer's proven Gold Dot technology with reliable expansion characteristics for hunting and tactical applications.
What Makes This Different
Speer Gold Dot ammunition features a bonded core construction that prevents jacket separation during expansion. The 62-grain soft point bullet provides deeper penetration than lighter weight options while maintaining controlled expansion. This bonding process creates more consistent wound channels compared to conventional jacketed bullets that may fragment upon impact.
Key Features
- Bonded core construction prevents jacket-core separation
- 62-grain soft point bullet optimized for .224 caliber rifles
- Nickel-plated brass cases for reliable feeding and extraction
