Remington Golden Saber 124 grain JHP

I tested these in the original test program but had a few with me. I used a six shot string instead of five (not sure why!!) .... and I am including the original five shot string data from first test as well .. to better increase the available information.

String velocities are rounded up or down to get rid of decimal point. Muzzle Energy (ME) is based on the average velocity (Av Vel)

A better power factor but strangely (same batch too) the more recent sample showed a much higher spread. ... Combining figures for the string of eleven here we get ....

Low vel overall - 934 fps (this is what threw the spread badly)
Hi vel overall - 1004 fps
Average (of averages) - 986 fps
Max spread - 70 fps.
Average ME - 268 ft lbs.

Whilst power factor not bad and only one round really let things down . we need to also see the expansion tests which follow .. this shows the round up badly IMO, at these velocities.



One small addition ... I also put two of these thru my BHP .. with following figures .......

1138 fps and 1134 fps ... average 1136 fps. Small spread in just those two. This equates to a muzzle energy of 355 ft lbs. Predictably, well up on the shorter R9 barrel.


To complete the analysis in test #2, the available Expansion Tests might be usefully considered.
