Thread: speer gold dots

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.
