Shoots pretty good as well.

Re: Speer Gold Dot 150 BLK
Looks promising.
Re: Speer Gold Dot 150 BLK
I just threw that load together and got 1 moa. I am sure, with a bit more brass prep and TLC I can get sub moa.
I'll go out on a limb and say this is a gamechanger for this cartridge. A specific designed 150 300 blk bullet with a decent BC that expands at around 200 yards assuming a 2100 fps ( or so ) MV. I know what I'll be hunting with

Re: Speer Gold Dot 150 BLK
As always, plenty of things to check.
What powders will be best for which barrel length and deliver repeatable accuracy. So far +/- MOA has been pretty easy to achieve from 50-200 yards.
The biggest issue right now is to find the actual BC of the bullet. Speer claims .463, I think that’s wishful thinking. The Berger target 150fb is only .393, Sierra Pro Hunter is .346.
I used .340 to figure drop from 50 to 200 and hit a bit low. More testing will tell.
As time permits I’ll get a better info out here, if there is interest. Rebel is right, in a 16” barrel 200 yards should be no problem.
It would be good to see some others posting some results.

Re: Speer Gold Dot 150 BLK
This has my interest. I honestly have not even heard of the bullet. Have to do some research.
Yes, I am a Baptist, and yes I carry a gun. You might think I carry a gun because I don't trust God. Well you would be wrong. I have complete faith in my Lord. It is mankind I have no trust in

Six shots at 50 yards, one inch dot for reference.
Six more shots after .005" seating depth adjustment. Note they are inside the previous six

Re: Speer Gold Dot 150 BLK
Good shooting! I am with you on the BC, Speer numbers seem generous. Hopefully I can Labradar a couple shot strings this weekend and get some feedback.

Re: Speer Gold Dot 150 BLK
Damn you guys....I was already settled in with my heaviest bullet weight being 130gn. Do ya'll mind putting some starting load info on here?
