The Speer Gold Dot .45 Caliber 200gr pistol bullet (brand part no. 4478) is a hollow point built on Speer’s bonded-core Gold Dot process, the same construction that has earned the line trust from law enforcement agencies nationwide. Speer bonds the uniform copper jacket to the lead core one molecule at a time, so the bullet expands consistently and holds onto nearly all of its original weight instead of shedding fragments. That combination gives .45-caliber handloaders immediate, threat-stopping performance for personal defense or duty ammunition. It ships 100 to a box.
