The Speer Gold Dot Handgun Personal Protection .25 Auto 35gr load comes in a 20-round box (Speer part no. 23602GD). It gives owners of .25 Auto pistols a bullet built with Speer’s Uni-Cor method, which bonds the jacket to a pressure-formed lead core. The 35-grain Gold Dot Hollow Point is listed at 900 fps from a 2-inch test barrel. Nickel-plated brass and a sealed primer support ignition and cycling. It is a defensive load for shooters who carry a .25 Auto.
