Speer Gold Dot-Availability

BeachBumShooter, that is a lot of vendors that do not have it. Wow!

.........I would not mind using the Winchester 130 Ranger or PDX1 or the Federal 130gr HST , in its place. They all work great out of a 2" 38 special.

I have 4 "centennial" type .38/.357's. I like these, don't imagine much "ballistic difference" at close range. Joe

Only one box of Speer Gold Dot. Picked up all of this in "deals". Don't think I need more?

Just found the Zombie Ammo hidden away. Hope I never have a use for it.

I would say online.

I haven't been able to find Gold Dots in person for YEARS where I am. It's disappointing. It's good stuff. I also like Federal stuff as an alternative.

Try any of these magic bullets, They all work
Not saying buy here but as good as anywhere else.

I have a box of the same 45s you have there...40 rounds of Speer 9mm gold dot and two boxes of some kind of Gold Dot bullets for reloading Pretty certain one said for 38 Super. I just remember setting them up on "a" shelf. Maybe they were just 9mm bullets. I also found a box or three of Black Talons 3 different calibers

I know you're looking for Gold Dots but if you're unable to find any there are some other really good options out there as others have said. Here are some 38 Special ballistic test results from both a 2" and 4" barrel.

The Federal HST Micro looks really good but I've never been able to find any of those. Underwood makes some really good performing ammo and is worth trying also.

There is a box of HST Micro's in the center of the first picture in my Post#33.

I found two boxes of the Federal HST micro a couple of years ago and I put those in the air weight snubbys. I sure wish I could find some more of those as I only have 10 rounds left. The HST micro and Speer Short barrel really make sense to me out of J frame snubbys.
The ammo shortage is pretty much over. Why can't the manufacturers retool and run off a batch? It's clear there is a demand for these and they would sale quickly!
