Namely do we think it would have decent performance from an 8.3" barrel out to 50 yards?
I'm looking to bolster my dwindling supply of 64gr .223 Gold Dots as any of the .223 Gold Dots seem to be impossible to get for the last 2 years. Are they discontinued?

These would be seeing service primarily from a Galil Ace pistol at very close range, i.e. as a truck gun in case of urban riots.
I spend the premium on this type of ammo as the stumpy little barrel of the Galil wouldn't do much for FMJ fragmentation but a good .223/5.56 bonded JSP will expand even at lower velocities. The late Paul Harrel did a meat target test with some Federal Fusions at 200 yards........ from a 10.3" AR and still saw reliable albeit reduced expansion.
