Golden Saber High Performance Jacket (HPJ) handgun ammo showcases Remington's continuing advances in bullet technology. No other handgun cartridge offers so many high-performance features for home security and law enforcement applications.
The Driving Band Makes the Difference
The bullet diameter directly ahead of the Driving Band is reduced from groove to bore diameter, so the bullet is precisely aligned before the Driving Band engages the rifling. The result: match-grade accuracy and reduced barrel friction that conserves velocity. In addition, the Driving Band locks the jacket and core together for maximum weight retention and core/jacket integrity.
Features:
- Reduced nose diameter allows precise bore alignment for enhanced accuracy.
- Primers are triple inspected during manufacturing process
- Nose cuts go completely through jacket for better mushroom initiation over widest range of practical velocities.
- Exclusive brass jacket controls mushroom and releases energy over longer distances
- Primer and mouth waterproofing for long-term reliability
- Treated powders suppress muzzle flash
- Nickel-plated cases for reliable function in all types of pistols
The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
The 45 ACP (45 Auto) was designed by John Browning in 1905 for his prototype semiautomatic pistol that eventually became the legendary Colt 1911, using a .452-inch bullet. Browning proposed a 200-grain bullet; U.S. Army Ordnance, smarting from reports of poor performance of the 38 Long Colt in the Philippines, increased bullet weight to 230 grains for greater stopping power...and the 45 ACP as it is today was adopted in 1911. It remains an iconic and popular handgun cartridge for personal defense and competition, and was used by the U.S. military in submachine guns (Thompson and M3) through the 1970s. Although largely replaced by the 9mm for military use and the 9mm and/or 40 S&W in the law enforcement community, the 45 ACP is still used by the U.S. military and numerous law enforcement agencies in various applications. The standard load remains a 230-grain bullet at 780 to 850 fps, but lighter, faster bullets from 165 to 200 grain, delivering a bit less recoil, are also available.
