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
Caliber Dictionary
The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.
Designed by John Browning, the 380 ACP (9mm Browning Short, 9x17) was introduced by Colt in 1908 and by FN in Europe in 1912. The 380 ACP is much more potent than the 32 ACP and is essentially the world-standard personal defense cartridge for pocket and purse-sized semiautomatic pistols. Bullet diameter is 9mm (.356-inch) with case length of .68-inch. Standard bullet weights vary, but most common are bullets of 85 to 95 grains at velocities from around 900 to 1000 feet per second. More important is recent bullet technology, with modern expanding bullets offering greatly enhanced performance over the full metal jacket bullets of John Browning's day. 380 ACP ammunition is offered by all makers of pistol ammo, and the cartridge is chambered by virtually all makers of small to mid-sized pistols. The 380 ACP is comfortable to shoot in medium-sized pistols, but the smallest 380s currently available can be snappy for inexperienced shooters. — Craig Boddington
