Are you serious about the AR-15 you keep ready for home defense? Then you’ve just found serious ammo for it: Speer Gold Dot, which is made for law enforcement officers but available to anyone who is unwilling to become a victim.
This round’s bullet is a touch heavier than your standard target load’s. At 62 grains, the bullet gains a bit more of the momentum it needs to defeat barriers and penetrate deeply.
The bullet’s tough electrochemically bonded jacket grants it even greater ability to penetrate barriers. If it hits drywall 10’ from the muzzle, it will lose no more than 25% of its weight. If it hits 20 gauge sheet metal at the same range, it will remain nearly 50% intact. And if the soft point hits flesh, its lead tip will flatten out to maximize trauma whilst simultaneously lessening the risk of over-penetration.
This ammo’s nickel-plated brass cases prevent corrosion and feeding jams. Its low-flash propellant prevents ignition from blinding the shooter at night. Its 3,000 fps muzzle velocity was recorded with a 24” test barrel, although Speer promises reliable expansion out of a barrel as short as 10”.
