The other day i picked up some bullets that were laying on the ground, up where i have been shooting paper for the past 2 year or so.
All the bullets started out weighing 300g, at least that's what was on the box.
I washed them some, and took these pictures:


The bullet on the far left is a 45 caliber Gold Dot, which now weighs 297.5g.
Moving right the bullets are a 45 caliber Nosler weighing 231.2g, a 44 caliber xtp weighing 270g, a 44 caliber xtp weighing 225.8g, a 45 caliber xtp weighing 289.8g, and the shell on the right is an xtp.

There were several laying around that looked like the one on the right.

I agree, I have about 400 300gr Gold Dots I bought. I haven't had much of a chance to shoot them but they do show promise. I like the mushrooming and they shoot as well as my 300gr Barnes Expander.

I already tolt cha dat BP

Actually, the Gold Dots seem to give up a little accuracy to the XTPs in both my Mustang and X7. But I'll accept an inch larger group for the performance of GDs.
