Speer Gold Dot 2 .40 S&W 180 Grain Jacketed Hollow Point - 50 Round BoxGold Dot remains a great choice for home and self defense. The jacketed hollow point allows it to feed more reliably from a magazine than non-jacketed cartridges while still retaining the knockdown ability and low-penetration that comes from the "blooming" nature of hollow point ammunition. Speer applies its jacket using a molecular bonding process which has proven to be very difficult to sheer away from the lead-alloy core. The new Gold Dot 2 has been updated with a polymer tip to fill the hollow point which allows the bullet to bloom when it should and stay together when it shouldn't providing even more reliability to this tried-and-true brand.
