This is a test a did awhile back with both 9mm and 45acp.Both are Remington hollowpoints,shot thru 2 pairs of bluejeans and 3 milk jugs filled with water.The 9mm is on the left and 45 on the right.Not a 40 shooter so sorry for you lol.

Are these the Remington "golden sabers" that come in the "value pack" boxes of 100?

**magnumize** · 12-11-2007, 05:10 PM

Not golden sabers,just the regular hollowpoints at wally-world.I was more than plzzzed.

**magnumize** · 12-11-2007, 05:12 PM

hummm well I dont know now,they do come in 100 pks.Green and white box is all I know lol.

Yeah a guy that I work with bought a few boxes of them a while back right before a USPSA match because our wal-mart was out of WWB.

Seems like a good way to stock up on Defensive HP ammo as this stuff was dirt cheap compared to other 9mm HP ammo. I mean it was like a couple of extra bucks for the Remington 100count HP when compared to the Win. 100 count Value Pack.

I bought a box of Remington HP at Walmart also. I couldn't believe the price!

rpsmith · 12-12-2007, 08:19 AM

how far did each one penetrate. I am curious because my HD gun is loaded with the 9mm Remington HP.

There you go. One reason I still like the 45 over all others for a SD weapon. It's hard to argue w/ bigger bullets making bigger holes.

They both made it through the bluejeans,the 1st milk jug stopped the 9mm and the 45 ended up in the 3rd one.

Sounds like Remington UMC.

Not what I would have expected. I would have thought that the 9mm would have greater penetration.

Thanks for running the tests!
