Frequently Asked Questions

How does this compare to the 90gr Gold Dot? Both share the same bonded-core construction; 115 grains is the standard 9mm defensive weight, while the 90gr option runs lighter and faster.

What makes Gold Dot’s bonding process different? The jacket is bonded to the core one molecule at a time, rather than mechanically crimped, which is why Gold Dot holds together so well after impact.

Is this loaded ammunition? No, this is a bare component bullet for handloaders supplying their own brass, powder, and primers.
