TESTED. PROVEN. TRUSTED. Gold Dot® ammunition’s reliability has made it the No. 1 load for law enforcement, and we offer the same performance to you. Using our exclusive Uni-Cor® method, we bond the jacket to the core one molecule at a time at the very beginning of the bullet construction process. This virtually eliminates core-jacket separation and creates a precision hollow point that is accurate, tough and unbelievably consistent. With options for both standard handguns and short barrels, there’s a Gold Dot load to fit any shooter. Now available in 10mm Auto.

The Speer® Gold Dot bullet begins with an alloyed lead core.
Gold Dot technology bonds an incredibly uniform jacket to the core—one molecule at a time.
First stage of patented twostage hollow point process creates memory lines that expansion can follow.
Second forming stage finishes the cavity to match bullet weight and velocity, producing a smooth leading edge for reliable feeding, and a uniform heel for superb accuracy.
Gold Dot has been proven to provide optimum penetration and expansion through ballistic gelatin and all barriers used in FBI protocol testing. Tests conducted with 9mm Luger 124-grain +P Gold Dot (23617).

GOLD DOT SHORT BARREL® PERSONAL PROTECTION FULL-SIZE DEFENSE FROM COMPACT PISTOLS At one time, packing a compact handgun meant sacrificing performance. Gold Dot Short Barrel has changed that. It works in barrels as short as 1.9 inches and has been proven by both law enforcement and private citizens. The loads produce less felt recoil while achieving reliable expansion at a variety of distances and velocities.

*Handgun Trajectory: bullet path relative to line-of-sight when sighted for 25 yards (sight height 0.9 inches). Test barrels are used to determine ballistic figures. Individual firearms may vary. These figures are approximate and are shown for reference. V = Vented test barrel simulating revolver performance. These trajectory tables were calculated by computer using the best available data for each load. Trajectories are representative of the nominal behavior of each load at standard conditions (59°F temperature; barometric pressure of 29.53 inches; altitude at sea level). Shooters are cautioned that actual trajectories may differ due to variations in altitude, atmospheric conditions, guns, sights and ammunition. GD = Gold Dot ®, HP = Hollow Point, SB = Short Barrel ®

Power -Packed 10mm Auto The Gold Dot line is now even stronger with the addition of a powerful 10mm Auto load that takes advantage of the cartridge’s capability. While most 10mm Auto offerings produce ballistics similar to those of 40 S&W, Gold Dot’s 200-grain bullet is loaded for optimal performance from the cartridge. speer-ammo.com

TAKE TRAINING TO THE NEXT LEVEL If you practice with ammunition that doesn’t match the ballistics of your carry loads, you’re not training—you’re just shooting. That’s why we build Speer® Lawman®. It’s extremely reliable, with feel and point of aim that’s as close as possible to comparable defense loads. All options feature reloadable brass and a Speer TMJ® bullet with a jacket that encapsulates the entire lead core for clean, consistent performance.
LAWMAN CLEAN-FIRE® TRAINING CLEAR THE AIR Lawman Clean-Fire ammunition gives shooters ideal indoor options. These offerings use the patented Clean-Fire primer, which contains no lead, barium or antimony. And the bullet is Speer’s TMJ. This means the lead core is completely encased so powder gases can’t burn lead off the bullet base. Range air, and your firearm, will be much cleaner when you shoot these special loads.
THE VISIBLE DIFFERENCE Lawman Clean-Fire spent cases look almost unfired when compared to traditionally primed ammunition. The heavy metals have been removed, producing a clean burn. Lawman, 45 Auto 230-grain, 5 shots handheld at 50 feet, 1.125-inch group
Speer TMJ bullet with one-piece jacket
The lead core is completely and seamlessly encased in jacket material, so powder gases can’t burn lead off the bullet base
Reloadable brass cases manufactured to tight tolerances
Clean-burning propellants deliver optimum velocity while ensuring consistent chamber pressures

GRAND SLAM™ SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE, EXCEPTIONAL ACCURACY With a tapered, precision-drawn jacket and a long nose, the Grand Slam bullet is engineered to blow through the thick hides, heavy bones and tough bodies of the world’s biggest game—without sacrificing accuracy. On impact, internal jacket flutes allow consistent expansion, yet the bullet retains most of its weight for deep penetration every time.
HOT-COR™ CONSISTENT AND ACCURATE Get incredibly reliable all-range accuracy and terminal performance with Speer Hot-Cor bullets. Molten lead is poured into the jacket during the construction process to maximize consistency while minimizing cost to the shooter.
BOAT-TAIL BUILT FOR LONG RANGE Extend your range on medium game with Speer Boat-Tail bullets. Designed for the long-range shooter, these bullets’ tapered heel flattens trajectories and decreases wind drift. On impact, they expand rapidly for quick, clean kills.
GOLD DOT PERSONAL PROTECTION DEMONSTRATED SELF-DEFENSE Speer offers duty-proven performance in a new line of Gold Dot Personal Protection rifle bullets. Their exclusive manufacturing process bonds the uniform jacket to the core one atom at a time, ensuring proper expansion, nearly 100 percent weight retention and immediate, threat-stopping performance.

VARMINT RIFLE BULLETS When you get a shot at a predator—or a varmint that’s constantly being hunted by them—it’s often just for an instant and at long range. At Speer®, we understand this, so we carefully craft a full line of bullets designed specifically for the needs of predator and varmint hunters. All are pinpoint accurate, consistent and provide terminal performance that puts down targets in their tracks.
TNT GREEN® LETHAL AND LEAD-FREE Exclusive non-lead bullet technology gives Speer TNT Green an edge over all other options—and all varmints. The bullet uses a thin jacket around a compressed powder core to produce not only long-range accuracy, but also explosive expansion and instant energy release on impact.
TNT® EXPLOSIVE AND ACCURATE Speer TNT gives predator and varmint hunters what they want most— long-range accuracy and maximum destruction on impact. Its thin precision jacket features internal fluting to ensure complete bullet disruption, while its high ballistic coefficient produces the flattest trajectories possible.
VARMINT HOLLOW POINT VERSATILE AND DEADLY Whether you’re poppin’ prairie dogs, taking aim at the range or calling ’yotes, you can count on Speer Varmint Hollow Points to deliver explosive performance and excellent accuracy. Available in a variety of calibers.
VARMINT SOFT POINT ALL-AROUND PERFORMANCE When you’d prefer controlled expansion over explosive terminal effects, choose Speer Varmint Soft Points. Their Spitzer tip provides both accuracy and superior terminal performance.

TARGET & PLINKING RIFLE BULLETS Whether you compete for trophies at the highest levels or just for bragging rights at the range, you need projectiles that are reliable and accurate. Speer’s line of rifle target bullets deliver for any need.
JACKETED HOLLOW POINT COST-EFFECTIVE CONSISTENCY
High-volume shooters need consistent and affordable bullet options. The Speer ® Jacketed Hollow Point delivers—without the hefty price tag.
TARGET MATCH EXTENDED-RANGE ACCURACY
Shooting at extreme range requires a special kind of bullet. Speer Target Match projectiles have what it takes to go the distance— any distance—thanks to a low drag profile, precision jacket and consistent hollow point.
TMJ® CLEAN AND ACCURATE Speer TMJ stands in a category all its own. Standard FMJ bullets sacrifice accuracy by adding a separate piece of jacket to cover the bullet base— or leave exposed lead. TMJ rifle bullets totally encapsulate the lead core for cleaner, more accurate performance.

HUNTING & PERSONAL PROTECTION HANDGUN BULLETS Be prepared for a dream hunt or nightmare encounter with Speer’s hard-hitting line of handgun bullets designed for hunting and defense. All utilize our electrochemical bonding process and other exclusive technologies so you can trust them to perform whenever called upon.
DEEPCURL® HUNTING TOUGHNESS REDEFINED Speer ® electrochemically bonds the DeepCurl jacket to the lead core to create the toughest, most accurate handgun hunting bullet possible. Pre-formed petals expand reliably and consistently and the bullet’s high weight retention ensures deep penetration on heavy-bodied game.
GOLD DOT® PROVEN BY LAW ENFORCEMENT Law enforcement professionals trust Gold Dot for a reason. The bullet’s exclusive manufacturing process bonds the uniform jacket to the core one molecule at a time, ensuring proper expansion and nearly 100 percent weight retention. The result is immediate, threatstopping performance. To see how Gold Dot bullets are constructed, see pages 4-5.
GOLD DOT® SHORT BARREL® PERSONAL PROTECTION FULL-SIZE PERFORMANCE Speer offers the same bullets used in Gold Dot Short Barrel ammunition as a component for your reloading needs. These bullets are engineered for excellent expansion at velocities common to short-barreled handguns.

TARGET & ACTION HANDGUN BULLETS You expect peak performance in all other forms of shooting—insist on it at the range as well with Speer’s complete line of handgun bullets. Our target and action pistol projectiles are built with our most exclusive technologies to perform to the highest standards.
TMJ® CLEAN CONSISTENCY Speer ® uses Uni-Cor ® technology to take full metal jacket bullets to their highest level of evolution with the Total Metal Jacket. Other FMJ bullets have an accuracy-robbing second piece to cover the lead, or have lead exposed at the base, which can deform under pressure. TMJ’s seamless jacket means this can’t happen. Airborne lead goes down, and TMJs won’t foul ported recoil compensators like open-base bullets do. We swage each bullet twice, ensuring consistent diameters and a uniform heel. TMJ bullets are great for action pistol competition.
JACKETED READY FOR ACTION
Jacketed Handgun Bullets with Uni-Cor ® technology boast a perfectly uniform jacket and are great options for action and competitive shooting. They are available in calibers from 32 to 50.
LEAD HANDGUN MODERN CLASSIC Speer cold-formed lead bullets are even better than ever with a technologically advanced, multi-layer lube. The coating won’t burn off, virtually eliminating leading problems and ensuring cleaner, more accurate shooting. It also won’t melt off in storage or transport and is dry to the touch. Available in calibers from 32 through 45, exclusively in bulk packs.
