Speer Gold Dot Rifle Personal Protection ammunition in .308 Winchester is engineered for optimal performance in FBI protocol testing through barrels shorter than 16 inches. The 150-grain Soft Point bullet utilizes Speer's exclusive Uni-Cor bonding method, which bonds the jacket to the core at the atomic level. This process virtually eliminates core-jacket separation, resulting in a projectile that's accurate, tough, and consistent through common barriers. The nickel-plated brass cases and reliable CCI primers ensure dependable performance in self-defense situations.
