Doc, any updates to this?

I would be interested in seeing the test considering we are going to the Gold Dot as a duty round.

Doc,

Any new info on the .223 Gold Dots? I'm getting ready for a bulk agency ammunition order and I'm trying to find something duty worthy for typical LE shooting environments that runs for around $0.75-$1.00 a shot.

Have been thru a few of ATK's ballistic seminars, where we can bring any ammo to test, and the Gold Dot out performed anything that anyone brought...including TAP.

We shot thru wallboard, plywood, windshield glass, and many different thicknesses of clothes....and of course bare gelatin.

Check here for some of their results as well.

We have seen the same results at the seminars we have recently attended. We will making the switch to the 64 grn. .223 GD in the very near future.

DocGKR, are you the same one that came up to Wa State a few years ago to our LE Firearms Instructor seminar and put on a ballistic seminar?

Wichaka, I did a seminar for WSLEFIA at the Yakima meeting in July of 2003.

That was the meeting where the Second Chance reps said that I didn't know what I was taking about and that Zylon was the best body armor material in the world...

I remember that....which is why 2nd chance hasn't been back!

Any chance of getting you up here again?
