Description
The Speer Gold Dot Personal Protection line brings Speer’s proven bonded-bullet technology to defensive rifle applications. Loaded in .223 Remington, this round features a 75-grain Gold Dot Soft Point bullet engineered for reliable expansion and controlled penetration, making it well-suited to a home-defense rifle or similar tactical use.
The bullet is built around the signature Gold Dot bonded construction – a lead core bonded to a copper jacket via a proprietary process that virtually eliminates jacket-core separation. The result is consistent expansion and high weight retention on impact, with the manufacturer citing 100 percent weight retention. Out of the factory test barrel, this load produces a muzzle velocity of 2775 fps and 1282 ft lbs of muzzle energy, with a published ballistic coefficient of 0.400. Speer recommends a 1:9-inch twist or faster for optimal performance.
Cases are nickel-plated brass, offering smoother feeding and extraction, corrosion resistance for long-term storage, and reloadability. Each box holds 20 rounds, with 10 boxes per case for a total of 200 rounds. The factory application rating is Home Defense.
Your purchase options:
- Box – 20 Rounds
