| Does anyone know if an when Speer is going to offer the Gold Dot .223 and .308 bullets as reloading components? |

Already got some of the Federal ( ATK ) 62gr bonded and some of the 64gr GD bullets. Bought them at a Funshow over 4 months ago, they look exactly like the ones in Molons post. Sadly, I cannot remember the vender.
The ones in this post ... http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=16&t=489674....about a third of the way down, showing "62 grain Fusion 64 grain Gold Dot"....those are the exact bullets. |

Speer doesn't list any Gold Dot ammo in .223 or .308 calibers. |

Right here... under LEO ammo...http://le.atk.com/general/speerproducts/rifle/default.aspx |

Well here is the disappointing email I got back today......
No plans that I am aware of for component sales of these bullets. I will pass on your email to our R&D bullet Engineers for their consideration though. Linda

I sit corrected. |

That is disappointing, I was hoping they'd be available for reloading. They are out there... just not through the "regular" channels. I remember about a year ago one of the big ammo houses had the .223 GD or Fed. bullets on their website. As I said earlier I found some of both at a funshow. Keep your eyes peeled and you might stumble on some. This was the site that had 'em....https://surplusammo.com/index.php?main_page=index&zenid=77dd62b28c47c04d205b38837273d5b4&cPath=36_30&sort=20a&filter_id=20&alpha_filter_id=0 |
