Speer 170gr. Gold Dots for .357

I have shot them in my 357 mag rifle and they shoot very well out to 100 yards!

I use Lil Gun in the 357 mag case.

I hope you are asking about the 170 gr gold dot flat point, cause that is what I am talking about.

I shot a small 8pt buck a few years ago, at about 40 yards. In through the near ribcage and out through the off side shoulder.

I set up 4 1 gallon milk jugs at 100 yards and the bullet went through all four, I found petals in the second and third jug.

I also shot an 80 pound hog at about 15 yards with it. I dropped the hog in one shot and it never moved but I was not impressed with the performace, I won't be using them again for hogs.

Excellent performance. I find them very accruate out of my rifle and my contender in 35 Remington.

You are correct ... it is the flat point.

I am interested in a solid bullet for my .357 mag/max.  I just don't like shooting hollow points for hunting deer and the like.

Thanks for the info.

the bullet in question is a Gold Dot bullet and will function just like the gold dot hollow points, only difference is it is a flat point.

It will open up the petals when it peels back.
