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

Honestly I didn't even know GD bullets were offered as loaded factory ammo for those two calibers.

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.

I sent an email to Speer. Will post up the response when I hear back.

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

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

Yep they started processing them about 2 or so years ago. They are good bonded core bullets just like their handgun stuff.

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
