Are those speers? If so, I have used the 250g. Shot very similar to the 250xtp.

The 300g GD shoot exactly like a 300g XTP in all my guns, out to 100.I have never shot anything as light as a 180g out of a ML. Chap Gleason

These vare the 40cal,they are similar to the 50/40 200gr Shock Wave but 20 gr lighter. I have not checked the Sectionaldensity yet . Yes they are Speer Gold Dot ;I am thonking about trying them ,Iwish speer made them in 200ge as every 200 gr 40 cal I have tried has shot well with heavy loads. I thought maybe Sabotloader would have tried them as he is usually one step a head of me.Lee

I have a box and I have shot a few, but did not think I was getting the accuracy that I wanted, but I can not say that I have gave them a definitive test....

I look at 'em because of the success of the 200 grain XTP, but again they did not land where I thought they should.
