Speer is revered in ammo circles for the performance of their Gold Dot hollow-points for law enforcement. For some time now, if you wished to reload your own Gold Dot ammunition you could for your handgun calibers, but not rifle. They now have opened the door for all of us to produce our own rifle ammo with Gold Dot rifle bullets especially designed for personal protection.

Law enforcement have had the opportunity through special departmental purchases to get ammo loaded up with Gold Dot rifle bullets. Now all of us can! Some of the characteristics that Speer boasts specifically about their Gold Dot rifle bullets can be read below:

• Gold Dot technology virtually eliminates core/jacket separations and produces a very uniform jacket
• Extreme accuracy
• Reliable performance to eliminate any threat
• Consistent penetration and expansion through common barriers

Another important trait is these bullets retain nearly 100% of their weight after impact. Something that is key in delivering all of the energy of the cartridge pushing the projectile.
