Choose your GoldDot and load wisely though.

The 45cal 250gr for 45LC Defense applications will pancake like mad at MLer velocity, even with just 80gr of BH209. Most of the Defense line have a much deeper hollow point. The Hunting series and DeepCurls that are replacing them have a much shallower cavity or a soft point and wont flatten out as fast.

How fast?...this is a 45LC 250gr wound channel. it may not be as deep but....


Ive shot both out of my GMB54 and the penetration/weight retention difference is huge.

Both did far better than Rainier 50cal 300gr plated HPs though and the price difference was minimal.
