Thread: speer gold dots

anyone out there used these for hunting got some 120 6.5s to try
Cheers

I also just bought some of these to try in a new-to-me .260rem, so interested to hear also.

I like them a lot. Pass throughs and good wound channel.
Think they're similar to the fusions but with better bcs.

have never had a Speer projectile let me down. About to try these gold dots in the 140gn pill

I tried a sample pack in .223 and they were pretty ordinary at three common powder weights sourced from one of the US forums. But to be fair that’s not proper load development.

I have spotted for a guy shooting the 140s in a 6.5mm. Couple of years ago and I forget which cartridge, but have a feeling it was 6.5-284. That was on red deer at around 440m. Smoked them. Pass throughs, good wounding, accurate bang flops DRT. We pulled one of the bullets out the soft soil bank behind the one deer, perfect mushroom, like perfect. I seem to recall posting pics somewhere? Have searched on here but can’t find them.
