But a little more navigating around the Speer site an I found this:
"DeepCurl™ —Speer's newest hunting line-gives reliable performance and consistent expansion at all velocities, every time. These tough bullets were formally known as Gold Dot® Handgun Hunting."
Sorry for the apparent false alarm but it does get confusing. Gold Dots are still a line but I guess it's more for self-defense.
