223 Rem - 55 Grain Gold Dot SP - Speer LE - 500 Rounds

Speer builds these .223 Remington rounds from the ground up with the intention to provide diehard reliability and impressive terminal ballistics during law enforcement use; design criteria include the assumption that the ammo will be fired through entry-style rifles with barrels as short as 10 inches. That makes this ammo an exceptional choice for personal defense with your AR, SCAR-16s, or Kel-Tec SU-16A, even in SBR configurations. Speer has been around since the 1950s and is an American manufacturer under the Vista Outdoor group. Their longevity, high-performance projectile designs, and knowledge-share with CCI and Federal has netted them a strong reputation with police agencies across the country as well as the continuous trust to fulfill government contracts. Each .223 Rem cartridge is built upon a nickel-plated brass casing fitted with a non-caustic Boxer primer; the sleek, shiny plating guards the ammo against degradation while also ensuring smooth feeding and extraction even after chambers get caked with carbon. The casing is crimped to the toothed cannelure of a 55-grain Gold Dot projectile with a "soft," exposed lead tip. Gold Dot bullets undergo the UniCor process which permanently bonds copper plating to the lead core, resulting in a bullet that expands during entry but doesn't fragment. This expansion causes great damage to threats, quickening the end to a conflict while decreasing the risk for over-penetration in domestic environments. The 55-grain weight matches a ton of available practice loads and will stabilize in nearly any barrel twist rate for universal compatibility and ease of zeroing.

45 ACP - 155 Grain RHT Frangible - Speer Lawman - 50 Rounds

Even the most cautious shooter is subject to certain dangers when they train. Shooting at steel targets and against hard backdrops presents a real risk of splash-back, where copper and lead fragments ricochet back to do serious damage. Splash-back is also a common problem at indoor ranges, where poor ventilation may also cause toxic lead to linger in a carcinogenic haze! But Speer’s Lawman line of ammunition works to make all those risks moot. This 45 ACP cartridge features Speer’s 155 grain Reduced Hazard Training projectile. The frangible bullet is comprised of 100 percent compressed copper particles, which are hardened but not fused together in a process called sintering. The RHT accordingly stays intact as it feeds and fires, but crushes itself into powder when it slaps a steel target or other hard surface. And in conjunction with this round’s heavy metal free Clean-Fire primer, the RHT poses no threat of producing airborne lead that could have accumulated indoors. This round’s lightweight bullet grants it a fast muzzle velocity, although you will find Speer’s training ammo reliably mimics many other conventional self-defense loads. Speer gives their RHT a distinctive pattern on its tip for easy identification, and complements it with a new brass case and clean burning propellant for superior functionality in a semi-auto.
