Speer Gold Dot G2 45 ACP +P 230gr JHP Ammo - 20 Round Box

The Speer Gold Dot G2 45 ACP +P delivers enhanced terminal performance through its advanced dual-stage expansion design. This 230-grain jacketed hollow point ammunition combines proven Gold Dot technology with innovative engineering to maximize stopping power in critical situations.

What Makes This Different

The Gold Dot G2 features a two-stage expansion process that creates larger wound channels compared to traditional hollow points. The bullet's shallow nose cavity initiates rapid expansion upon impact, while the deeper secondary cavity ensures continued expansion even through heavy clothing or barriers. This design maintains weight retention above 99% while achieving expansion diameters up to 150% of original bullet size.

Key Features

• 230-grain bonded jacketed hollow point with dual-stage expansion technology
• +P loading generates 950 fps muzzle velocity for enhanced terminal performance
• Bonded core construction prevents jacket separation during expansion
• Optimized for law enforcement and personal defense applications
• Consistent expansion through FBI protocol barriers including heavy clothing and wallboard
• Nickel-plated brass cases resist corrosion and ensure reliable feeding
• 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (200 total rounds)

Field testing demonstrates reliable expansion at velocities between 800-1200 fps, making this load suitable for both full-size and compact 45 ACP pistols. The +P pressure rating delivers approximately 15% more energy than standard pressure loads while remaining within SAAMI specifications. Law enforcement agencies report consistent performance in duty pistols from major manufacturers including Glock, Smith & Wesson, and SIG Sauer.
