I shoot HST’s as defense Ammo but would buy this in a second if I needed it.
I’ve carried Gold Dot HP in my guns I carry for SD for years. Good stuff. Especially the 9mm and .357 Sig.
I’ve never tried the HST, but from what I’ve read, it’s very highly rated too.
I’ve carried GD, I like the HST now but either would kill a [bleep] deder than Roy Clark.
LOL. Yep! I’ve killed quite a few hogs at the Ranch with the Gold Dot .357 Sig loading.

I've always heard good things about consistent expansion from GD. . Have you kept up on the latest developments? As an instructor, do you have a recommendation for round count to prove reliability for a students chosen CCW?
Gold Dot, HST and Ranger SXT are the top of the heap in my opinion. Although I favor GD and purchase them for my department, I wouldn't have a problem with the others.

I retired from being an instructor nearly 5 years ago.

Thanks for the recommendation. It doesn't sound like that's changed since I last looked into it. That speaks well for the GDs.

It sounds like you are confident in the history of the Gold Dot.
It sounds like a good time to split a thousand with a purchase for anyone ready to buy.
I was very interested, but I never have seen any kind of Gold Dot ammo packed in an ammo can like that. They all have been packaged in 50 round boxes. So, I am skeptical, especially at that price.

First thing I thought when I saw that too. Never seen any Factory Speer Ammo packaged like that.

Eight five stars reviews on that page and 86 on Ammoseek.
"Top-notch customer service and extremely fast shipping

I had never heard of Velocity Ammunition Sales, but they had an insanely good price on a can of Federal HST, so I decided to risk it. I was pleasantly surprised. First, their customer service is top-notch. I had reservations about the ammunition because I had never seen this type of ammo (Federal HST) sold in this type of packaging (metal ammo can). However, a quick email to customer service alleviated my worries- with an hour of sending my email, they informed me this was over production from a law enforcement contract. Second, shipping was also extremely fast- I checked the reviews on AmmoSeek prior to submitting my order, and I almost thought that these reviews were fake given that every one seems to mention how fast the shipping was. I now see why everyone mentions the shipping speed- it truly is industry-leading. The same day I placed the order, the ammunition shipped and arrived within 3 days. Very impressed with Velocity Ammunition Sales and will order form them again."
Next time I'll just keep this kind of info to myself.
Why because one person was cranky? Keep the info coming. Thanks.

I don't feel cranky and I meant no disrespect. It just tripped my "too good to be totally legit" meter. I could be wrong. Carry on.
Wasn’t talking about you brother 👍

Someone is buying it. Down from 45 cans in stock when I posted it to 31 cans right now.
I don't own a .40 S&W any more, but those 165gr GD's are a deal at $.45 a round. I couldn't tell you the last time I saw .40 S&W ammo on a store shelf.
