Speer Gold Dot 45 ACP 230 Grain Hollow Point Ammunition - Reliable Self-Defense Load

Speer Ammunition Speer Gold Dot, Personal Protection, 45ACP, 230 Grain, Hollow Point, Short Barrel, 20 Round Box 23975GD The Speer Gold Dot 45 ACP 230 Grain Hollow Point ammunition is engineered for exceptional performance in self-defense and law enforcement applications. Featuring true bonded-core bullets, this load utilizes an exclusive Uni-Cor bonding process that fuses the jacket to the core molecule by molecule, virtually eliminating core-jacket separation during expansion. This advanced bonding technique ensures consistent penetration and expansion, providing reliable terminal performance under demanding conditions. Each cartridge is carefully crafted to deliver optimal expansion and penetration, with hollow point cavities precisely tuned through a patented two-stage process. The first stage determines how far the bullet can expand, while the second stage controls the rate of expansion, giving the bullet predictable and effective performance. The bullets are finished with a smooth profile to promote reliable feeding in semi-automatic handguns, making them suitable for a wide range of firearms, including those with short barrels. Designed and tested to meet the rigorous standards of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Gold Dot hollow points undergo extensive testing for penetration, expansion, and weight retention in both bare gelatin and barrier-shielded conditions. This ensures that each round will perform reliably when you need it most. With 20 rounds per box and 200 rounds per case, the Speer Gold Dot 45 ACP 230 Grain Hollow Point ammunition offers a dependable choice for professional and personal protection. Whether used in a law enforcement setting or for personal defense, this ammunition provides peace of mind through proven terminal ballistics and consistent reliability.
