This 250-round pack of 45 ACP Gold Dot gives you Speer’s 230 grain bonded hollow points in volume. Agencies nationwide carry Gold Dot. With this pack, you can carry and train with the same trusted load.

Why Choose 45 ACP Gold Dot?

The 230 grain .45 ACP is a classic defensive round. It moves at a moderate speed, so recoil feels like a firm push. Meanwhile, the Gold Dot bullet expands reliably and holds together.

A 250-round pack is a practical size. For example, it covers a carry rotation, a home defense supply and some practice. In addition, it costs less per round than buying single boxes.

How Gold Dot Bonding Works

Speer bonds the jacket to the lead core with its Uni-Cor process. Because of that, the jacket and core stay together on impact. As a result, the bullet keeps nearly all its weight, expands in a controlled way and penetrates deeply, even through heavy clothing and other common barriers.

Agencies across the country carry Gold Dot on duty. In addition, many civilians trust it for everyday carry and home defense.

Nickel-Plated Brass, Clean Powder

Speer loads these rounds in nickel-plated brass cases. The plating helps them feed smoothly and resist corrosion. Meanwhile, clean-burning powder and Boxer primers give reliable ignition and keep fouling low. You can also reload the cases.
