Speer has developed a great reputation with both its Lawman and Gold Dot lines of ammunition. This 223 Remington version of its Gold Dot bullet is no exception. Each round is loaded with a 55 grain soft point bullet and is meant for law enforcement purposes. That makes this 223 Remington Gold Dot ammo a great option for home defense or for hunting large varmints like coyote. This ammo has an advertised muzzle velocity of 3,220 feet per second, and it will have terrific and controlled expansion whether shot from a 16 inch or a 20 in barrel. This ammo is great for use out of ARs and out of bolt action rifles.
Speer is known for premium ammunition for self defense, law enforcement, range training and competition shooting. Their ammo is for accuracy and consistency, and the Gold Dot line is considered by many to be the best self defense round available.
