Speer Gold Dot bullets in .30 caliber, 168 grains (brand part no. 308168GD) bring the same bonded-core design law enforcement professionals trust with their lives to a personal-protection rifle bullet. Speer’s exclusive manufacturing process bonds the jacket to the core one atom at a time, ensuring proper expansion and nearly 100 percent weight retention on impact, and the heavier 168-grain weight trades a bit of velocity for deeper penetration compared to Speer’s lighter Gold Dot rifle loadings. The bullets are packaged 50 to a box for handloaders building their own defensive rifle ammunition.
