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 Winchester and introduced by Winchester and Smith & Wesson in 1990, the 40 S&W was designed as a "compromise" semiautomatic pistol cartridge that would offer more performance than the 9mm Luger (9x19)…but would produce less recoil and allow higher magazine capacity than the 45 ACP. Few compromises in the firearms world have ever worked as well. From a manufacturing standpoint many pistols designed for the 9mm could be re-engineered to handle the larger cartridge; in a short time it has become a standard issue in the law enforcement community. Using a .400-inch bullet of from 135 to 180 grains from a .850-inch cae, the .40 S&W produces up to 1205 fps, and although recoil is greater than the 9mm, it is easier to shoot than the 45 ACP, and its greater velocity and smaller bullet diameter aid penetration. — Craig Boddington
