Thread: Speer gold dot

Loaded some 120gn for @quadhunter260 ‘s 260 yesterday and about to go load some to try in my creedmoor now
Very new to the NZ market but reports coming from usa say they are a very accurate and a good killer on game
Muz’s 260 is very restricted mag wise max 2.790” coal
So he has to be quite picky with his bullets these seem to fit his gun really nice not jammed in the case to much for the short coal
My creedmoor on the other hand any round that will fit in the chamber will fit in the mag so im not governed by length
So after looking at the numbers probably not the pick in my rifle as I have a very long Throat so in order to have good projectile case hold
I have to have a massive jump to lans will try them anyway though
They aren’t the cheapest bullets at $66 for 50 that’s $132 per 100 a good hornady bullet like an eldm or eldx is $90 odd for 100
But if you’re someone who needs a short bullet and still want a reasonably high bc for what they are these seem pretty good
They look like a good shape I’ll probably shoot some tests this week and will report back
Cheers
