It's a gold dot. It's a gold dot specifically designed for humans and fleshy creatures. Other than a federal fusion, which I'd say is a gold dot, there are no better fused lead core projectiles out here that can withstand impacts at high velocities, stay together, and expand reliably like these projectiles. Gold dot is the golden standard!..... Love them, and I'd bet your life on them!.. lol
They're good for sure.
Accubond doesn't open up at velocities below 2200 like a copper bullet. But terminal ascent is great.
@Paul I've loaded accubonds in 6.5 swede, 270, and 300 win. Always drive that bullet through bone and you'll get reliable expansion and terminal performance. You miss the shoulder and it's pencil holes at longer ranges. Love the pill though. Put a gold dot rifle round anywhere and you have performance.
I love the gold dot bullets. I would have NO problem hunting any animals up to moose sized game with them. Good video sir thank you
Totally agree. Thanks for watching
What you have to remember is that speer Gold dot rifle ammo is designed to go through things like car windshields and home windows and still get an accurate hit on the bad guy. My point is for hunting, it will work extremely well. If you are concerned with over penetration in a defensive situation, a rifle is not a good choice anyway.
There are some .308 loads that are decent about not over penetrating. 110gr vmax for example.
Hand loaded the 168 grain version and am impressed with the accuracy and how it held together after being captured in sand. I have no true velocity. I like the gold dot round 😊
It's a great bullet for sure
Not bad at all. .308 is a bit heavy for interior home defense. Good round for defending your property from a distance.
@emskirchner Oger Pass through is my only concern. Not the effectiveness. .308 Win is one of my favorite calibers.
@emskirchner Oger Agree 100% 👍
A .308 with a 110gr vmax or 125gr sst or other frangible round would work
@@AlaskanBallistics That would make a nasty mess. Lol
That's the point.
Nasty round! I’ll take a dozen cases! Seems like it would be a good hunting/HD load to me. Great video, sir. Thanks.
You and me both.
I have always loved gold-dot
Great series of bullets
Another great video Chuck yes I shoot those out of my 223 65 Creedmoor and 65grendel they hold together real well I think they would be perfect for a deer and what have you. There a poor-man's Nosler partition in my opinion
Nice. Wish i could get some more projectiles to load in 6.5 creedmoor. Poor man's nosler partition is a great description. Especially with nosler partitions being 70 to 80 bucks a box of 50.
Ah the wonderful 308 my AR10s got excited by this video. Oh sorry my AR10 identifies as a musket. Lol
Lol i need a .308 ar10
@@AlaskanBallistics I love it. Just sold my only bolt gun in 6.5 creed. Just did not warm up to that round. I still can reload for it. May build a 6.5 creed upper in the future.
@@jeffgenchi5863 i love my 6.5 Creedmoor's, but nothing wrong with a traditional .308 either.
Great velocity and expansion.
Thank you
Those gold dots are a good bullet for hunting.
Johnny's reloading bench has taken a few deer with them.
Got some of their 225gr boat-tail Sp in front of me for 338
Good luck
Real nice performance - for hunting (as you said). Didn’t think it would stay together that well.
Pretty much everything that carries the Gold Dot brand seems to perform real good.
One prominent exception - that handgun GD G2 stuff is not up to standards
I've tested the g2 stuff, and it wasn't that bad
@@AlaskanBallistics must have missed that, will have a look. Thx
I have seen it struggling with expansion in several tests with clothing. Really surprising as it has this strange polymer in the cavity to avoid that.
Yeah it's an old 45 auto video
👍👍thanks Chuck, definitely a good 🦌round
Thanks Lance
Love ❤ 308 😍
It's a good one
Thanks for another great video! Seems like a great round, I do love the 308!
On a side note, I recently got a ton of 300 Win mag 165 grain Trophy Bonded Tip ammo from Federal on a trade.
Have you ever have any experience with the Trophy Bonded Tip? Seems like pretty good stuff? Just wanted to know your thoughts.
I've got no experience with it unfortunately
Hi Chuck, good power and velocity and nice expansion. However - not being a home defence guy - this is more of a deer load to me and too powerful for home defence. Good you still got a 9mm and AR15!! Cheers Dave 🇺🇸 🇳🇿
Thanks Dave
Hit that shit hard it's crazy the military dropped this for 5.56
Yeah maybe so. But when it came to jungle warfare in Vietnam, more rounds the better, not bigger rounds. Now they're going back to be able to fight wars like Ukraine.
Looks really similar to a Fusion which has 5 pedals. Velocities same as I got with 150gr Fusion out a 22" barrel 2777fps
Cool man.
👍😊 the rifle is a 22” barrel + the brake/ flash suppressor.
Maybe so. Thanks
@@AlaskanBallistics well if we are using the revolver barrel measuring it has a 20” barrel .
Only way this rifle hiccups is if you baby it going into battery or touch the op rod
I figured that out, embarrassingly on camera 😒
This should be an excellent whitetail load out to 300 yards or so
Agreed frank! Good to see you!
Excellent all around offering. Good hunting. But it would be extremely effective for farm & homestead Defense.
Agreed
Love the ,308
Hard to beat
you should do a review on 130 grain .270 federal trophy bonded bullets.. it’s what my rifle likes to eat so it’s what i feed it and i’ve always had incredible results on paper and game.. i’m impartial to bonded bullets myself
Spring or summer I'll try
One of my favorite rounds
It's a good one for sure
I’m going to reach out to you when I visit my son who is in the US Army stationed in Fairbanks. Maybe we can do a video together. You do an excellent job with your Channel. ✊🏾
Okay. I don't live near fairbanks lol. It's a day's drive.
Nice M1A
Thank you
Now we need a head to head 150 grain vs the 168 grain speer gold dot 308
Hmmm maybe in the summer sure
I use this in 556 for deer hunting, loaded to 3050, drops them every time
Nice
Good video!
Thank no you Luke, may the .308 force be with you
@Alaskan Ballistics Thank you sir you too!
Maybe good against plated creatures!😁😁😁
Maybe
I'd use it for home defense, especially where the neighbors are a little farther apart, or deer, bou, goat, sheep, black bear.
Good point. Not your apartment dweller's home defense load but perfect for the spread out areas.
@@AlaskanBallistics Yep. IMO, there's a LOT less chance of an intruder carrying on after taking a hit from a 308 than a hit from a 223 or a handgun.
@@404nitro That I agree
Outdoorlimited has some in stock
Cool
Some comments here talking about how 308 not for home defense but if I see a home invasion developing and all the guys have long guns and geared up with what looks like body armor you better bet I’m not going for 10mm or AR15. I’m going for AR10 sending 308.
With 130gr m80A1 ball set 3050+fps
So are the Gold Dot and the Fusion really the exact same bullet design and process? With both Speer and Federal being sister companies I wouldn't be surprised if they were made in the Speer factory in Idaho for both brands. Technology sharing is an absolute given across Speer, Federal, and now Remington. They are no longer competitors.
They claim no that they are not
With the Fusion and Gold Dot bullets getting good reviews, I am hoping to duplicate .223 Fusion by using the Gold Dot Bullets. Trying to throw the heaviest bullet the 1:14 will stabilize. So far, the old Hornady Interlock 60 grain is grouping well. Trying to make a .223 into a deer and coyote rifle with a single load and try to load up 300 of them by next season.
Good luck. 1 in 14? Have an older mini 14?
@@AlaskanBallistics Old Sako. Haven't actually measured it but I read that old Sako 222 and .223 were 1:14. I know 64 grain power point bullets are not gonna run in it from the few I tested. 55s and 60s so far will without effort.
Cool still could be 1 in 12
@@AlaskanBallistics Yeah, I read that too. Would love to slap a new 24" 1:9 barrel on it and be done. Shoot the 62s and 64s. Would be nice to be able to plink with heavy ball ammo. It's gonna be a deer rifle though as is. Bet this thing hasn't actually seen 500 rounds in 50 years. It did see a lot of miles in a jeep back in the 70s and 80s for coyote hunting when the fur market was hot and a $50.00 Colorado coyote was almost a given.
Go with a 1 in 7 so you can shoot anything. Won't hurt lighter bullets
What was the temperature outside? In the summer this would easily pass 2820.
25ish
I wish they made a 175 gold dot
Yeah me too
Could you please send me the link on how you seal your shotgun shells up. I could not find it.
In the lower 48 just buy the waterproof sluggers from warhammer ammo i believe.
308win 150gr Hornady -super-formance-Test.❤💪.
The new CX bullet yes. The SST wouldn't survive very well. Superformance is a line that comes with two different bullets
That’s like 50,000 almonds
I don't get your reference
👍👌🇱🇷❤
Thanks
Home defense?
Little heavy for that
Seems like too much penetration for home defense. Should be just fine for a hunting round.
Agreed
@emskirchneroger4830 not always. Load 110 grain 30 cal hollow points, find out if they function in a semi auto. Just might be happy with the rapid expansion.
Hey bud, your Instagram was hacked. The guys messaged me from it trying to steal my login info. Said it was for a online influencer spot with a promoter. Just letting you know. You might want to change your login info
I know. I've announced it and been fighting it for 3 months. Please report it.
@@AlaskanBallistics ahh ok. Haven’t seen that. Just wanted to make sure you were aware
I am @Instagram does nothing to help get it back
Sheet metal?
It would be fine against it yes
Why waste all this food. Use something else please. Give this food to someone needy.
Pork is bad for you anyway. Especially with all the hormones and steroids they inject them with.
