The other day i picked up some bullets that were laying on the ground, up where i have been shooting paper for the past 2 year or so.
All the bullets started out weighing 300g, at least that's what was on the box.
I washed them some, and took these pictures:
The bullet on the far left is a 45 caliber Gold Dot, which now weighs 297.5g.
Moving right the bullets are a 45 caliber Nosler weighing 231.2g, a 44 caliber xtp weighing 270g, a 44 caliber xtp weighing 225.8g, a 45 caliber xtp weighing 289.8g, and the shell on the right is an xtp.
There were several laying around that looked like the one on the right.
That's what I like about Gold Dots. You're gotta love a mushroom with a stem. They perform much like the Barnes bullets at about 1/3 the cost.

I agree, I have about 400 300gr Gold Dots I bought. I haven't had much of a chance to shoot them but they do show promise. I like the mushrooming and they shoot as well as my 300gr Barnes Expander.

Yeah, you did Sabotloader. I may have mentioned it a time or two myself. But ol` Breechplug is a little slow ya` know, so we may have to tell him a few more times.
Actually, the Gold Dots seem to give up a little accuracy to the XTPs in both my Mustang and X7. But I'll accept an inch larger group for the performance of GDs.

Sure, what the heck Semi - the way you shoot, what's one more inch?
