Remington's Golden Saber Bonded is all the revolutionary features that make Golden Saber rounds the leading edge in defensive handgun rounds, along with the unmatched barrier-penetration performance of Remington's special bonded-bullet design. Through an exclusive Remington process, the lead core is hot-bonded to the brass jacket. The load features exceptional weight retention up to 97% through, reduced bullet nose diameter for precise bore alignment, and match-grade accuracy. It requires less energy to initiate expansion, while jacket stiffness and wall thickness are optimized to eliminate over-expansion, thus maximizing penetration.
