anachronism Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 From Speers website: https://www.speer.com/performance/gold-dot-performance.html Speer has developed a plating process (Unicor) that allows them to vary the thickness of the plating by it's actual position on the bullet, and the copper they use is more structurally durable than the cheap copper wash that many cheap plated bullets do. This also allows them to make rifle bullets in the same pattern, just with a thicker copper sections. The Gold Dot name came from the little spot of the copper outer layer that is left in the center after the hollowpoints are formed in the bullet after the plating process is complete. It's really an injustice to call a Unicor bullet "plated", but technically it is plated. Features The bullet begins with an alloyed lead core. Uni-Cor electrochemical process virtually eliminates core/jacket separation and guarantees uniform jacket thickness for superior accuracy. Nickel-plated brass cases for smooth functioning and durability. Select, clean burning propellants deliver optimum velocity while ensuring consistent chamber pressures. CCI primers for highly sensitive and reliable performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
