Just a thought that I will throw out there... because of the concave base in a Gold Dot - normal light charges usually will not do it for them at the longer ranges - think you get a bit of wobble as they loose velocity and RPM. I really think you need to kick that charge up especially since you are using GOEX.

I really think the minimum charge for 100 yard shooting of a Gold Dot is 100 grains of T7-2f. If you get a chance kick the charge up or try some 3f Goex but you would still need at least 100 grains.

You are stabilizing the bullet out of the bore, but as the range increases and the bullet slows the air force that helps stabilize the bullet by crossing across the concave base lessens and accuracy will be effected.
