It's been in stock and on sale for what seems like months. They seem to run out of the 75g from time to time.
I've been picking up a few boxes here and there, while wondering why its so cheap and seems to be an endless supply of the 55 and 64g. I'd think at 9.99 a box, they'd all be long gone by now. |

The shipping sale finally came back on the 64 gr so I pulled the trigger...finally!
PSA has the 64 gr. on a daily sale today. Free shipping on 10+ boxes! Molon, can you confirm that Speer does NOT make the Gold Dot in 5.56 anymore? |

How would these compare to the older Hornday 8126N load that I stocked up a few years ago?
Any issues with feed ramp leading with these loads? |

The Gold Dots have some of the least amount of exposed lead at the meplat. I haven't had any malfunctions with the Gold Dot ammunition, but I also haven't fired more than ~120 rounds of it in between cleanings. |

And the 75gr has gone down to 12.99 per box. Salad days.... |
