50rds - 9mm Remington Golden Saber 147gr. BJHP Ammo Details

Remington is an American manufacturer with over 200 years of experience designing firearms, engineering calibers, and innovating advances in ammunition. These 9mm Golden Saber loads represent but one of the fruits of their labor and feature top-notch features geared towards personal defense as well as uniformed duty. To start, the reloadable brass casings which house this ammunition are nickel-plated for resistance to moisture in the holster or storage. This not only fights off corrosion but increases reliable operation by reducing friction for smooth travel up the feed ramp and seamless extraction from the chamber. Each case has a non-corrosive Boxer primer affixed to its base which produces a reliable spark of flame without the use of caustic chemicals like mercury.

Remington tops off this particular 9x19mm load with a heavyweight 147-grain projectile which exhibits excellent terminal characteristics. The bullet features a wide-mouth hollow cavity accompanied by spiral serrations which produce reliable expansion upon impact. Unlike typical gilding metal jackets, the Golden Saber projectile uses a harder brass jacket which shrugs off distortions, enhances penetration through thick clothing, and slows expansion to a calculated rate; this allows the bullet to reach vital organs before coming to a halt and passing off its threat-stopping momentum while reducing the chance for over penetration.
