Can the Speer .475 caliber, 275gr, Gold Dot bullet be pushed
to around 1600 - 1800fps? I was thinking of trying some of these bullets in my 475 GNR carbine this year hunting. I know it’s a pistol bullet but I have some handy.
I have hunted with the gold dot/ deepcurl
For years in the 41GNR#2 at close to 1800fps and it holds up perfectly. I also shoot a 325 gr .475 deepcurl in my 476GNR encore pistol with a case full ish of AA1680 and it’s wonderfully accurate! Haven’t hunted with it yet, but I would be very surprised if it wasn’t a stellar performer on big game.
Here are two 210gr 41 cal gold dots recorded
from hogs. ![[image]](images/uploaded/20211125130104619f8910dea2b.jpg)
They where running just under 1800fps. The open up to the cannelure, the base I have always found intact. And if you look close you can see the gold dot!
