308 Win – 168 Gr SP – Speer Gold Dot (24458) – 500 Rounds

Need a 308 load that performs through barriers and on tough game? Pick up this 500 round case of Speer Gold Dot LE Duty 24458 308 Winchester 168 grain bonded soft point ammo.

Speer built the Gold Dot Duty Rifle line for law enforcement marksmen and patrol rifles. The key is Speer’s bonding process, which fuses the jacket and lead core together at the molecular level. A bonded bullet can’t separate on impact, so it holds its weight and keeps penetrating even after passing through auto glass, heavy clothing, and other barriers. That same construction makes it an outstanding hunting bullet for deer, black bear, and hogs, where it expands reliably and drives deep. Speer rates this load at 2,650 fps and 2,619 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The 168 grain weight gives excellent accuracy in most 308 rifles. The nickel-plated cases resist corrosion, which matters for duty ammo that rides in a patrol car or truck in all kinds of weather.

The 308 Winchester is chambered in bolt actions like the Remington 700, Ruger American, Savage 110, and Tikka T3x, and in semi-automatics like the AR-10, SIG 716, and Springfield M1A. Law enforcement agencies choose Gold Dot for its consistency lot to lot, which is exactly what you want when a load must perform the same way every time. Since you should practice with the same ammo you carry or hunt with, a 500 round case lets you qualify, train, and keep a supply on hand from a single lot.

This American-made Speer ammo is new production, nickel-plated brass-cased, Boxer-primed, and non-corrosive. Nickel plating resists corrosion and feeds smoothly, but we do not recommend these cases for reloading. Each box holds 20 rounds, and twenty-five boxes make up this 500 round case. Store extra boxes in a cool, dry place, and rotate duty ammunition on a regular schedule.
