Speer Gold Dot Personal Protection .223 Remington 62-grain soft point ammunition (part no. 24461) brings Speer’s proven bonded-core Gold Dot technology to the home-defense rifle. Speer builds this round for a defensive carbine rather than hunting, tuning the 62-grain soft point for controlled, consistent expansion at typical home-defense distances. For an AR-15 kept for home protection, this rifle ammunition is purpose-built for the role.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is a Personal Protection rifle load different from a hunting load? Gold Dot’s Personal Protection line is tuned for the shorter ranges and different terminal performance goals of home defense, rather than the deeper penetration and larger wound channels hunters look for.

What does bonded-core construction do for this bullet? Bonding chemically fuses the jacket to the core, so the bullet holds together and resists fragmenting apart on impact, giving more consistent expansion.
