This past May the 230g self defense Gold Dot pistol bullet was given a try out of a rifle. The load was 80g; the bullet was shot into water jugs out 25 yards.













No recording was made because of not wanting to have the camera out in the snow. The 230g Gold Dot on the left was shot from the 45 acp pistol. The 230g Gold Dot on the right was shot from the Dream Season.

















The Gold Dot shot from the 45 weighs 229.9g. The bullet shot from the rifle weighs 93.2g. The bullet from the 45 impacted the jugs at about 900fps. The bullet from the rifle impacted at about 1550 fps.

To illustrate the difference between a Deep Curl, and a Gold Dot, the next photo shows a 270g Deep Curl along with the Gold Dots. The Deep Curl was probably traveling at around 1650 fps at impact, because of being pushed by 90g of Blackhorn.
