Overview
The Speer Gold Dot LE Duty .223 Remington 55 Grain Soft Point is meticulously designed for law enforcement professionals, tactical operators, and those requiring dependable ammunition for critical scenarios. Its soft point bullet is engineered for controlled expansion and consistent penetration, making it ideal for use in urban environments where precision and limited over-penetration are essential.
This cartridge excels in short-barreled AR platforms, maintaining accuracy and reliability even in high-pressure, fast-paced situations. The bonded-core construction ensures that the round performs consistently across intermediate barriers such as glass, drywall, and car doors, providing peace of mind to users who depend on their ammunition in unpredictable conditions.
History and Development
Speer Ammunition has long been a leader in designing ammunition specifically for law enforcement and tactical purposes. The Gold Dot line, introduced to meet the growing demand for bonded-core technology, was initially developed for handgun calibers and later expanded to include rifle cartridges to serve evolving professional needs.
The development of the Gold Dot LE Duty .223 Remington variant emphasizes precision and stopping power, incorporating proprietary bonding technology that chemically fuses the bullet’s jacket to its lead core. This innovation addresses common issues like jacket-core separation, ensuring maximum weight retention and reliable performance.
The use of nickel-plated brass casings was introduced to enhance corrosion resistance and feeding reliability, catering to professionals operating in diverse environments. Each round undergoes stringent testing to meet the rigorous standards of law enforcement agencies, making it a trusted choice for duty and tactical operations.
