New Speer Products for 2004


41 Magnum Gold Dot® Hunting Ammunition

For 2004, Speer adds the 41 Magnum to its popular Gold Dot Hunting line of handgun ammunition. A new Gold Dot bullet was designed from the ground up for this cartridge.
Gold Dot 41 Magnum ammunition is loaded with a 210 grain Gold Dot hollow point that is tuned to 41 Magnum velocities. The new load produces 1280 ft/sec from a 4-inch vented test barrel and approximately 1350 ft/sec from a 6-inch revolver barrel. That’s close to 850 ft-lbs muzzle energy!
Gold Dot 41 Magnum ammunition is suitable for game up to large deer.

45 Glock Automatic Pistol (45 G.A.P.) Ammunition

In a joint development project, SPEER® and Glock have achieved a new level of performance for compact, semi-auto pistols. The 45 G.A.P. cartridge length is scaled to permit its use in sub-compact pistols that would normally be chambered for the 9mm Luger cartridge, yet provides performance equivalent to popular defense loads for the 45 Auto cartridge.

FEATURES & BENEFITS
• 185 and 200 grain loads
— Matches popular bullet weights in 45 Auto defense loads
• Service loads feature Gold Dot® bullets
— High retained weights, consistent expansion and proper penetration
• Training/practice loads feature TMJ® bullets
— TMJ is the ultimate full-jacket bullet, with the lead core completely encased in copper for cleaner guns and top-flight accuracy
• 185 grain velocity of 1030 ft/sec from 4" barrel*
— Compares favorably to 185 grain 45 Auto loads at 1050 ft/sec from longer barrel (5")
• 200 grain velocity of 950 ft/sec from 4" barrel*
— Compares favorably to 200 grain 45 Auto loads at 975 ft/sec from longer barrel (5")
