Overview
Speer Gold Dot 53966 is the 50-round standard-pressure 230-grain load in the 45 Auto Gold Dot line. Speer's catalog lists the same load in 23966GD 20-round packaging at 890 fps and 404 ft-lbs from a 5-inch test barrel.
Gold Dot uses Speer's Uni-Cor bonded construction. The standard-pressure load is the full-size-pistol reference; owners of shorter pistols should compare it with the separate 23975GD Short Barrel load.
