Speer Centerfire Gold Dot ammunition is manufactured to be the best-period! One key to superior performance is the stringent manufacturing process whish Speer has developed. It all starts with an alloyed lead cor being formed to a basic shape. From there the core goes through a unique electrochemical process which bonds jacket to core one molecule at a time. Speer's Uni-Cor process provides for uniform jacket wall thickness and virtually eliminates jacket slippage or separation.
Next, the bullet moves to a patented, multiple "star stab" swaging operation which not only creates the unique Gold Dot hollow point cavitiy but, at the same time forms an extremely uniform heel radius. The uniform heel radius ensures accuracy throughout bullet flight from start to finish. The finished product is a highly engineered bullet that delivers superior performance in accuracy, expansion and penetration regardless of caliber since each one is customized.
The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
The 50 Action Express (50 AE) was designed by Evan Whildin and introduced in 1991 in the Israeli Desert Eagle semiautomatic pistol. At the time of introduction it was the most powerful handgun cartridge, though since surpassed by the 460 and 500 Smith & Wesson. 50 AE uses a rimless case with length of 1.285 inches and a true .50-caliber bullet with .500-inch diameter. Firing a 300-grain bullet at 1550 fps, the 50 AE is extremely powerful and requires an extra-large pistol such as the Desert Eagle to house it. Recoil is severe, and power level is substantially greater than needed for personal defense. However, the 50 AE is a superb round for handgun hunting, proven on very large game. Ammunition is available from multiple sources.
