The Speer 300 grain Gold Dot is no longer made in .451 - they changed the nose configuration it 2 years ago and it now made as a .452. They (speer) does offer a .451/300 grain but it is not a Gold Dot, it is a Uni Core bullet. The .458/300 grain is also a Uni-Core bullet. 45 Revolver UCSP 45 Colt HV 45 cal. Flat Nose HP (45-70; 450 Marlin) This is the Gold Dot... 45 Revolver Golt Dot HP 454 Casull I can not find the listed velocities on the Speer site but you can look up the velocities of the gun suggested and come up with a good idea. Here is Gold Dot spec sheet Hope all of this posts.... |

this will bevery helpful
I take it you are using the 454 casull |
RE: Speer 300gn GD Velocity
I like the Speer .458 HP which I think is Uni Core. It is a 300 grain and out of an Orange MMP sabot is very accurate. I have not shot anything but Sabotloader was explaining to me that this should be an excellent big game bullet.

I take it you are using the 454 casull That .458 Special Purpose bullet that Cayugad found (built for a Marlin 45/70) is a Uni-Cor ( bonded ) bullet and it would be an excellent bullet even for big biggame. I do not know how Dave found this bullet but it was a very good discovery and from his tests - it shoots very well + plus it is a rifle bullet builf for hunting... and I do not know about you but any time I hear 45/70 I am thinking Buffalo stopper even though I know they used a heavier slug... |
