Speer Gold Dot G2 45 ACP AUTO Ammo 230 Grain +P Jacketed Hollow Point

Speer Gold Dot G2 45 ACP AUTO Ammo 230 Grain +P Jacketed Hollow Point ammo review offers the following information;

Each of these cartridges is assembled using a +P pressure charge for flatter .45 ACP trajectory and enhanced terminal effect, a reloadable brass casing which has been nickel-plated for corrosion resistance and dependable feeding, and the all-new Gold Dot G2 jacketed hollow-point (JHP) projectile. The G2 retains important features from the street-proven Gold Dot design including the shallow cavity with precise skiving for controlled expansion as well as Uni-Cor bonded jacket which will prevents separation from the lead core and preserves the penetration desired in duty and defense loads.

For years, Speer Gold Dot has been the pinnacle of duty handgun ammunition performance. Gold Dot G2 builds on this reputation with a next-generation duty bullet design. Instead of a large cavity in the nose, Gold Dot G2 has only a shallow dish filled with a high-performance elastomer. On impact, the elastomer is forced into engineered internal fissures to start the expansion process, as opposed to conventional bullet designs, which rely on target media to enter the hollow-point and create expansion forces. The result is extremely uniform expansion, better separation of the petals, and more consistent penetration across barrier types, gun platforms and barrel lengths.

Improvements made to the G2 design include a simple lip cannelure which aides in weight retention as well as an elastomer filling in the hollow cavity which does not extend past the cavity’s mouth and interfere with proper chambering.
