Golden Saber HPJ Bonded Ammunition
	Golden Saber Cartridge

Golden Saber Bonded is the ultimate extension of our revolutionary Golden Saber HPJ bullet concept. Through an exclusive Remington process, the lead core is hot-bonded to the brass jacket. The result is exceptional weight retention - up to 97% when fire through automobile glass - while maintaining phenomenal terminal performance when shot through heavy clothing or into bare gelatin. And the bonding process does not cause a reduction in accuracy performance - jacket and core concentricity and resulting gyroscopic balance has been maintained to deliver match-grade accuracy.

Unlike competitive bonded handgun bullets, expansion, penetration, weight retention performance when fired through barriers such as wallboard and plywood has actually been improved. The unique design and bonding process also produces a bullet that requires less energy to initiate expansion. At the same time, the jacket stiffness and wall thickness is designed to eliminate over-expansion, thus maximizing penetration. These ultra-high performance characteristics make Golden Saber and Golden Saber Bonded ideal for overall law enforcement applications.

The sequence of high speed photography above shows the superior performance of Golden Saber HPJ Bonded bullets through automobile glass. In frame 1, the 230-gr., .45 caliber Golden Saber Bonded bullet impacts typical automobile winshield glass (the glass is not visible as a sheet because it is lit to be able to see the approaching bullet through it). To represent a shot taken from the left front quarter of a vehicle, the glass is set at an angle of 45° to horizontal and the center line of the gun bore is offset 15° to the side. In frames 2-4, the Golden Saber passes through the windshield and, in frame 5, emerges from the glass intact. Jacket and core have held together through the stress of penetrating ASI 1/4 inch laminated safety glass.

This block of gelatin was placed 10" beyond the auto glass setup shown above to catch the bullet after passing through the windshield. It clearly shows that after smashing through safety glass, the .45 caliber Golden Saber Bonded sill delivers a large-volume stretch cavity with over 12" of penetration.

Golden Saber HPJ Bonded bullets have the same industry-exclusive Driving Band profile that centers the bullet perfectly in the bore as it moves into the rifling. This results in match-grade accuracy and higher velocity conservation.
