I have been shooting the new .452 Bonded Gold Dots in 250 grain and 300 grain weights. They shoot very well for me. I really think they are a little thicker than Hornady .452's so I would actually label them .4525.

I have shot them over my chrono and out the 150 yards. I am impressed.

The 45 cal 250's have a very deep HP and the way it is designed it will open and it will be abosolutely deadly on deer. From an inline shooting them to 150 yards is nothing, beyond 150 requires a little more thought due to the low BC of the bullet. The 300's have had the nose (HP) redesigned from the orginal .451's and the BC has been raised to .233. Their down range ballistics are awesome. The beauty of this is they are not that expensive - I guy can afford to shoot them at something other than animals.

The Bonding of the bullet to the copper is great - no separation of the lead and copper. I just started evaluating them this year near the end of our hunting season - I did not take any game, big game that is, with them yet, but I have shot them into a soft sand bank and recovered them. WOW! The picture I am posting is form the factory mine did not look this GOOD - but they were good - can you imagine this cutting it's way through an animals vitals.
