Remington ammo

[jaybo292]

Hey all, Merry Christmas. First post here. I got a new Taurus model 85 SS. I haven`t fired it yet. Maybe Tues.I can shoot it. Is the Remington 125 gr. Golden Saber a good defence round?
Thanks Jay

Yes it is a good round for defense, also try the Federal Hydrashoks and the Speer Gold Dots.

Congratulations on you gift!

Yea, Golden Sabres are great. I've shot them, and Gold Dots, all were really good...but I settled on Federal Hydro-Shoks.

Try some of the short barrel loads by Speer (Gold Dots)

RE: Remington (handgun) ammo

Remington's website - to be very kind - sucks!

They used to give a lot of decent details about handgun loads.
They don't do that anymore.
It's odd that in a world of instant information access, Remington all of a sudden decides they want to be closed mouthed about their products.

Not that it will matter all that much to them ,,but,, I belive I've bought my last box of any Remington defensive ammunition. I used to like the Golden Sabers,,,but I won't buy a pig in a poke.

The gold sabres are good rounds. Also I've had good luck with PMC eldorado starfires in 125gn+p. They seem to shoot the best in my taurus snub.
