Description
Speer Gold Dot LE 223 Remington 62gr GDSP ammunition is a premier duty load chosen by law enforcement agencies and defensive rifle operators for its barrier-blind terminal performance. Built using Speer’s proprietary Uni-Cor electro-chemical process, the bullet jacket is molecularly bonded to the solid lead core. This process virtually eliminates jacket-core separation on impact, ensuring deep, controlled penetration and wide expansion whether deployed from short-barreled carbines or standard duty rifles.
Engineered to maximize defensive AR-15 performance, this load utilizes nickel-plated brass casings for low-friction feeding, rapid extraction, and enhanced corrosion resistance during daily carry. Formulated with flash-suppressed propellants to preserve night vision during low-light engagements, Speer Gold Dot LE rifle ammunition delivers match-grade accuracy and uniform reliability when it matters most.
FBI Protocol Performance
Engineered to excel in the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) ammunition testing protocol, Speer Gold Dot 62gr GDSP maintains consistent barrier-blind terminal ballistics through barrels ranging from 10 inches to 16 inches. Across standardized testing mediums—including bare gelatin, heavy clothing, steel, wallboard, plywood, and auto glass—the bonded GDSP projectile demonstrates:
-
Ideal Gel Penetration: Delivers consistent penetration within the 12-to-18-inch window in ordnance gelatin.
-
High Weight Retention: Retains a high percentage of its total grain weight through heavy clothing, drywall, and automotive barriers.
-
Controlled Mushroom Expansion: Expands reliably up to 1.5x its original bullet diameter without fragmenting prematurely.
Key Features
-
Molecularly Bonded Core: Uni-Cor technology fuses the jacket to the core, preventing separation through dense urban barriers.
-
Short-Barrel Optimization: Specifically loaded to expand and cycle reliably out of short-barreled rifles and carbines down to 10 inches.
-
Nickel-Plated Brass: Smooth, corrosion-resistant nickel plating ensures positive feeding and reliable extraction in modern semi-automatic rifles.
-
Low-Flash Propellants: Specially blended powder reduces muzzle flash to help maintain vision and spatial awareness in low-light environments.
-
Proven LE Ignition: Built with reliable CCI Boxer primers for instant, uniform ignition under demanding environmental conditions.
