I was just looking thru the 2009 Speer catalog and noticed that the 45 Colt 250grain Gold Dot loading is now listed at 750 Fps out of a 5.5" barrel while the previous listings were 900 Fps from a 5.5" bbl.

I double checked the 2008 catalog and sure enough it was 900fps.

Now, I considered the 250grain at 900fps to be a good compromise between weight and velocity and had made the Speer Gold Dot loading my ammo of choice for personal protection in my 4" 25-5. Now, with a 150 fps drop to 750fps I am rethinking it and may go back to a lighter bullet at higher velocity. IE: either the Blazer ot the at 1000 - 1100 Fps.
Does anyone have any insight or actual test results of this ammo?
