The Remington Golden Saber Bonded delivers superior terminal performance through its bonded brass jacket technology that prevents core separation on impact. This 40 S&W ammunition features a 165-grain bonded brass jacketed hollow point design engineered for maximum expansion while maintaining weight retention in defensive scenarios.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard hollow point ammunition that can suffer jacket separation, the Golden Saber Bonded uses a proprietary bonding process that permanently fuses the brass jacket to the lead core. This bonded construction ensures consistent expansion patterns and deeper penetration compared to conventional JHP rounds. The spiral-cut jacket design creates controlled expansion while the bonded core maintains structural integrity through barriers.
Key Features
- Bonded brass jacket prevents core separation for consistent terminal performance
- 165-grain weight optimized for 40 S&W velocity and energy transfer
- Spiral-cut hollow point design ensures reliable expansion at various velocities
- High-quality brass cases for reliable extraction and potential reloading
- Boxer primers provide consistent ignition in all weather conditions
- Compatible with all standard 40 S&W firearms and magazines
- Factory-loaded to SAAMI specifications for consistent performance
This ammunition performs consistently across temperature ranges from -40°F to +140°F, making it suitable for duty carry, home defense, and competitive shooting applications. The 165-grain bullet weight provides an optimal balance of velocity and energy for the 40 S&W cartridge, delivering approximately 1150 fps muzzle velocity from a 4-inch barrel. Law enforcement agencies have adopted this load for its predictable expansion characteristics and barrier penetration capabilities.
