    I've fired quite a bit of green box .38 spec, .357 mag, .357 sig, and 9mm. No problems and chronographed what I expected.

    All I know is Golden Sabre would run pretty good in Colt SMGs. I have a box of .45 somewhere.

    I hope they improve things.

    The worst ammo I ever shot was UMC 55g .223. Yellow box. The brass was so soft it would plug the ejectors on our carbines with brass dust, shavings

    Yeah, the 45ACP GS is decent stuff. It has a pretty round noise profile, so it feeds just like a FMJ. Hell, even my bone stock, fully original, WWII Remington Rand 1911A1 eats it like candy.

    It's good to have Rem back online producing ammo. Hopefully their new stuff will be better than the crap they were churning out over the last few years.

    Yep. I’d get me a few boxes upon rerelease if nothing more than for hunting ammo.

    I kinda hope they use the old ammo box design. Those were comfy. I’m sick of seeing cops and army guys on my ammo with extreme font. I like the stuff I grew up with.

    Bring back the old Yellow UMC box please. Also make the ammo to the same quality.

    Glad to see more supply though I don't use Remington ammo for anything. In a time long ago... Rem .22LR Golden Bullet was ok for the kids to plink with. Kinda liked the old milk carton.

    To the persons who have tested Golden Saber, I’m going to suggest that you may not have been using the premium bonded variant, either that or there were other issues. I’ve run FBI protocols for testing ammunition, and Golden Saber has done very well. Accuracy has been more than satisfactory, and FPS variations haven’t been enough to make any meaningful difference in testing.

    It’s good enough that FBI HRT has used it for a long time, though I confess I haven’t paid much attention to what they’ve been using lately.

    One thing I always liked about Golden Sabre is it came in 25 round boxes rather than 20.
