Speer Gold Dot LE .308 Winchester 168gr GDSP Ammo – 20 Round Box
Professional-grade, law enforcement-proven tactical rifle ammunition featuring an electrochemically bonded Gold Dot soft point projectile for unmatched barrier penetration and terminal performance.
Product Overview
Speer Gold Dot Law Enforcement .308 Winchester 168-grain Gold Dot Soft Point (GDSP) ammunition is purpose-built to meet the stringent demands of tactical professionals and civilian defense. Utilizing Speer’s exclusive Uni-Cor construction process, the copper jacket is bonded to the lead core one molecule at a time, virtually eliminating core-jacket separation.
Leaving the muzzle at 2,650 fps and generating 2,619 ft-lbs of energy, these rounds are optimized for reliable expansion across a wide velocity spectrum—even out of short-barreled rifles and at extended distances. Each box contains 20 rounds housed in corrosion-resistant nickel-plated brass cases.
