During World War II virtually all manufacturing capacity in the United States was focused on producing supplies for the war effort. Obviously, this was necessary to ensure troops were well supplied but it did create some shortages for the folks back home. The shortage of quality hunting ammunition led Vernon Speer to found his company in 1943 to help take up some of the slack. Although starting as a rifle bullet manufacturer, they would release an iconic line of defensive handgun ammunition in the 60's known as Lawman. That line would be the industry standard for self-defense and duty carry ammo until they delivered once again with Gold Dot. Manufactured by American workers in Lewiston, Idaho, Gold Dot is the most trusted and widely used ammunition for EDC and law enforcement across the nation.

Not only does Gold Dot include handgun rounds, but also an impressive lineup of rifle loads for hunting and defense. This .308 Winchester uses a soft point projectile that is perfect for hunting medium and large game animals. What sets these apart is Speer's patented process to lock the jacket and core together for optimal penetration and maximum weight retention. This will create a devastating wound channel for quickly and effectively harvesting deer or hogs on your next hunt. At 150 grains, it produces a velocity of 2820 feet per second with 2648 foot pounds of energy at the muzzle. Gold Dot .308 is also engineered to function reliably in semi-auto tactical rifles like the AR-10. One feature to accomplish this is the smooth feeding nickel-plated casing. Speer Gold Dot is one of the finest ammunition lines on the market and is backed by a proven track record. Invest in a 500 round case of .308 soft points to defend yourself and hunt with the best.
