Range Report: Speer 147 Grain Gold Dot G2

I chronographed the Speer 147 grain Gold Dot G2 ammunition from a Gen 2 Glock 19 (with a factory original barrel) over an Oehler 35-P chronograph. The load had a muzzle velocity of 960 FPS with a standard deviation of 8 FPS.

I evaluated the accuracy of the 147 grain G2 load from a distance of 25 yards. A 10-shot group fired from my Noveske barreled Colt 6450 had an extreme spread of 0.82”.

A 10-shot group fired off the bench from my Heckler & Koch VP9 hand an extreme spread of 2.48”.

Looks like the recalled stuff - the ones we got after are in a white box...

Thank You !

Is this your first pistol round test ? I don't recall seeing any other.

Glad to see your VP9 is accurate. I love mine. ( BTW trigger spring kit from http://www.hkparts.net/shop/pc/VP9-VP40-Ultra-Match-Spring-Set-p17222.htm did improve the trigger IMHO )

I just bought 500 rounds of this crap (the recalled stuff) before finding out that it had been recalled for poor expansion issues. Is it worth keeping for carbines and full size handguns, or should I just cycle it through with my training ball and buy something more reliable?
