Speer Ammo 4482 Gold Dot Personal Protection .45 Cal 230gr Hollow Point Reloading Bullets - 100/Box

Handload the Speer Gold Dot Personal Protection defensive bullet - the same proven projectile design carried by law enforcement professionals, now offered to the home handloader who wants to build carry-grade self-defense ammunition from the components up.

Each projectile is a .45 caliber bullet weighing 230 grains, built around a lead core and engineered with a controlled-expansion hollow point tip for consistent weight retention and terminal performance at the velocities typical of service-grade handguns. The bullet measures .451" in diameter with an overall length of .670", sized to feed reliably through semi-automatic pistol magazines and seat in standard 45 ACP cases.

The Gold Dot profile is optimized for personal protection handloads and is well suited for the short-barrel concealed-carry pistols where defensive loads must expand reliably at lower velocities. A ballistic coefficient of .148 and a sectional density of .162 round out a tech profile clearly oriented toward defensive duty rather than long-range ballistics.

This listing is for projectiles only - no brass cases, primers, or propellant are included. Each box contains 100 bullets, packed 5 boxes per case for a total of 500 bullets per case. These are intended for experienced handloaders building defensive 45 ACP ammunition who want the same bullet Speer has built its law-enforcement defensive line around.
