The Remington Golden Sabre, Brass Jacketed Hollow Point (BJHP) is typically a trusted cartridge and a solid performer in their bonded variation. Their non bonded is again, a good performer, but does feature noticeable jacket to core separation, especially from duty length barreled handguns.
Jacket to core separation is typically considered a negative in defensive ammunition, as it typically effects projectile weight and overall penetration depths, however, the Remington (non bonded) Golden Sabre is not typically troubled with these traits and failures.
Having access to numerous handguns, from "micro compacts" to SBR's and Carbines, I have considered doing a test and evaluation on these, to see if the jacket separation issue is as prevalent of an issue as some believe. With these velocities being pushed outside of Remington specifications with the non handgun firearms, it should show just how far a Golden Sabre can be pushed, without causing a massive failure of the projectile. It will be after the 75 grain, Hornady BLACK interlock 223 Remington test of course. But I believe it's a testing platform that hasn't been thoroughly explored for this cartridge.

Shootingthebull410 did a wonderful IWBA protocol test using the 124+P bonded and they performed beautifully even through the short barrel (3 inch) Sig. I imagine they would do even better in a duty sized barrel.
