Speer Gold Dot G2 45 ACP +P 230gr HP 24256 Overview
Speer Gold Dot G2 45 ACP +P 230 grain hollow point 24256 ammo uses a shallow, elastomer-filled G2 nose in a 45 ACP +P defensive configuration. That unconventional nose is paired with Speer's bonded jacket-and-core construction. Its 230-grain bullet weight and +P pressure marking are separate identifying details alongside the unusual filled nose.
Rather than relying on an empty nose cavity, Gold Dot G2 uses a compressed elastomer insert to drive force into internal expansion fissures. The bonded bullet design aims to retain jacket and core integrity, and Speer specifies 950 fps for this ammo. Elastomer-filled nose geometry and electrochemical jacket bonding address different parts of the projectile's intended behavior.
The G2 design starts from a shallow, filled nose rather than the open cavity used by conventional Gold Dot bullets. Its internal cuts are intended to begin deformation when the insert is compressed, while jacket bonding addresses retention of the projectile's components. Speer packages the nickel-cased, American-made ammunition in 20-round boxes. The +P marking also makes the firearm's pressure rating relevant when selecting this loading.
