Remington Ammunition 180 Grain Jacketed Hollow-Point (JHP) Ammo Details

Remington Golden Saber Black Belt ammunition delivers dependable performance in self-defense emergencies for both law enforcement and citizens. An ideal concealed carry load, this .40 Smith & Wesson ammo features a distinctive locking belt at the middle of the projectile that keeps the core and jacket in one piece and facilitates high diameter expansion and strong terminal performance. Each round fires a heavy 180-grain spiral-cut, brass-jacketed bullet that provides strong penetration.

Like previous iterations of Golden Saber ammo, these rounds use nickel-plated brass cases that retain their integrity over long periods. This is important for a defensive load that may be carried in a CCW or duty sidearm every day but rarely actually gets fired. Remington ammunition is made in Lonoke, Arkansas using non-corrosive Boxer primers. The company has been in business since the early 19th century and is one of only a few that produces both guns and ammo.
