Anyone using 120gn speer gold dots

[grayfox]

FWIW, I collapsed a bunch of Grendel shoulders trying to seat these. May have nothing to do with the bullet itself, but the experience was unique to just the 120 Gold DOTs. As to performance once loaded, should be great. My only suggestion is to take care when seating and if have ability to open the neck more, keep that open as an option.

the gold dots (120) that I have, some of them seem to have a small ridge right towards the bottom, at like, the top edge of the boat tail. This might interfere with your seating. I've had some feel a bit rough going into the case but they seated ok.

That was easy
Pretty good For a Ruger American I must say

Top target was on the left bottom was on the right
Shot across the top then bottom left and factory ammo bottom right

I was zeroing scope aswell hence poi shift between groups
Actual point of impact shift between groups was very little if none

hi there kiwi shooter... did you find a good recipe for the Gold Dots? I've recently got a few packets of it for the Grendel.... I've managed to build a load using 8208, with MV about 2470ft/s.... how did you get on? both on the recipe, and the performance while hunting while here in NZ? I've yet to try the GDs in the field... but found the eldm123 to work on fallow down South....
