Speer Ammunition's Gold Dot series is renowned for its innovative bonded-core technology, offering reliable performance for self-defense and target shooting. The .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (WMR) load features a 40-grain hollow point bullet designed to deliver controlled expansion and deep penetration. Using an advanced Uni-Cor® bonding process, Speer bonds the jacket to the core at a molecular level, virtually eliminating core-jacket separation and ensuring consistent performance even after multiple impacts. This meticulous construction results in highly reliable expansion and retention of weight during penetration, making it a dependable choice for various shooting scenarios. Each Gold Dot hollow point cavity is precisely engineered through a two-stage process, first establishing the expansion limit and then controlling the rate of expansion, which provides optimal performance tailored to specific calibers and bullet weights. The bullets are finished with a smooth profile that promotes reliable feeding in semi-automatic handguns and short-barrel firearms, ensuring consistent cycling and accuracy. Tested rigorously against FBI protocol standards, Gold Dot ammunition is proven to meet demanding criteria for penetration, expansion, and retained weight in both bare gelatin and barrier conditions. Whether for personal defense or target practice, Speer Gold Dot .22 WMR loads offer a combination of advanced technology, precision engineering, and proven reliability, making them a trusted choice for shooters seeking high performance in a compact, short-barrel configuration.
