Speer Gold Dot .357 Magnum 135gr HP Short Barrel – 20 Rounds

Speer's Gold Dot Short Barrel load addresses a common challenge for snub-nose revolvers: standard .357 Magnum loads often fail to expand reliably from barrels under 3 inches due to reduced velocity. This 135-grain jacketed hollow point is engineered specifically for barrels 1.875" to 3", using Speer's bonded-core construction to ensure controlled expansion and deep penetration even at the lower velocities short barrels produce. The bullet's jacket is bonded to the core one molecule at a time, preventing core-jacket separation on impact—critical for consistent terminal performance in defensive scenarios.

Designed for small-frame .357 Magnum revolvers commonly carried for personal protection, this load uses nickel-plated brass cases for reliable feeding and corrosion resistance. Available in 20-round boxes (item #23917GD) or 200-round cases for range work and duty carry rotation. CCI primers ensure consistent ignition.
