Speer Gold Dot Personal Protection 45Cal 200gr Hollow Point projectiles are the industry standard for defensive handloading. Using the Uni-Cor electrochemical process, the jacket is bonded to the lead core one atom at a time. This technology eliminates core-jacket separation, ensuring nearly 100% weight retention and consistent expansion through tough barriers. The 200-grain weight offers a higher velocity potential than standard 230-grain loads, providing a balance of lighter recoil and rapid expansion. Defensive Application Engineered for duty performance, these bonded hollow points offer elite barrier-blind expansion and deep penetration, ideal for high-stakes home and personal defense.
