Is Speer Gold Dot Duty Rifle the finest .308 Win ammunition you could select for personal protection? Quite arguably, yes. It’s made by one of our country’s best manufacturers. It satisfies Speer’s highest standards for quality. It’s intended for police snipers – but you, who are possibly not a police sniper, are still entitled to own it and fire it for defense or for hunting!
The Speer Gold Dot soft point isn’t just designed to expand wide regardless of how hard it strikes its target. It is also exceptionally robust – an attribute it owes to the unique process of its creation, which entails electrochemically bonding its lead core to its copper jacket. Should such a tough bullet hit a barrier at high velocity, it will emerge on the other side mostly intact (and therefore still capable of penetrating deeply into flesh).
According to the FBI’s own test protocol, this round’s 168 grain bonded SP can strike the following barriers at a velocity of 2,542 fps and subsequently (A) conserve the following percentages of its weight, (B) penetrate ordnance gelatin to the following depths, and (C) expand to the following diameters:
• No barrier - 93.10%, 19.62”, .762”
• Heavy clothing - 89.46%, 22.50”, .497”
• Sheet metal - 77.86%, 21.25”, .478”
• Drywall - 66.79%, 24.00”, .370”
• Plywood - 91.31%, 21.125”, .916”
• Auto glass - 69.58%, 13.875”, .887”
Gold Dot Duty Rifle ammo features nickel-plated brass cases, which are smooth to facilitate more reliable functionality in a rifle and better protected against corrosion than bare brass alone. Speer’s low-flash powder will help you preserve your faculty of vision while firing at night. Muzzle velocity and ballistic data recorded with a 24” test barrel; Speer promises efficacy out to 200 yards out of a barrel as short as 20”.
