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.
