The Speer 24461 Gold Dot Personal Protection ammunition delivers proven stopping power in 223 Remington with 62-grain soft point projectiles. This law enforcement-grade ammunition provides consistent expansion and deep penetration for reliable personal defense applications.
What Makes This Different
Speer Gold Dot ammunition features a bonded core construction that prevents jacket separation during expansion, maintaining weight retention of 95% or higher. The electrochemical bonding process creates a uniform jacket thickness that ensures consistent terminal performance shot after shot. Unlike standard FMJ rounds, these soft point bullets expand reliably at velocities from 1,000 to 1,600 feet per second.
Key Features
- 62-grain soft point bullets with bonded core construction
- Electrochemically bonded jacket prevents core separation
- Nickel-plated brass cases resist corrosion and aid extraction
- CCI primers provide consistent ignition in all conditions
- Muzzle velocity of 3,025 fps from 20-inch barrel
- Compatible with 1:9 and faster twist rate barrels
- 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (200 total rounds)
Field testing demonstrates consistent 1.5-inch groups at 100 yards from quality rifles. The 62-grain weight stabilizes effectively in carbine-length barrels while maintaining sufficient velocity for expansion at extended ranges. Law enforcement agencies rely on Gold Dot technology for duty ammunition due to its predictable terminal ballistics and barrier penetration capabilities.
