Description
This Remington Ultimate Defense ammunition pairs a proven brass jacketed hollow point bullet with quality components you can count on for personal protection. Each round uses Remington's Golden Saber BJHP bullet, engineered for consistent expansion while maintaining the penetration necessary for reliable stopping power. The 185 grain bullet weight delivers a subsonic 1015 fps muzzle velocity, making it suitable for full-size duty pistols and carry guns alike.
Golden Saber Bullet Design
The brass jacket itself is part of what makes this load work. Unlike gilding metal jackets, the brass exterior is thicker and stiffer, which means it controls expansion more predictably through different materials. The Golden Saber's spiral-cut nose design promotes expansion even at subsonic velocities, a real advantage in defensive scenarios where barrier materials might slow bullet performance. Combined with controlled expansion, the design maintains the penetration depth needed for reliable effectiveness.
Built for Reliability
Remington loaded these rounds with nickel-plated brass cases that resist corrosion and cycle more smoothly through your firearm than standard brass. The powder is treated to reduce muzzle flash, and both the case mouth and primer receive waterproofing treatment for maximum reliability in varying conditions. Everything about this load was designed for dependable performance when you need it, from the quality primer to the reloadable cases.
Box of 20 Rounds
You get 20 factory-loaded rounds per box, packaged and ready to carry or store. These are manufactured in the USA and backed by Remington's reputation for quality ammunition production. Whether you're stocking a dedicated defensive load or training with the same round you carry, this ammunition performs consistently from shot to shot.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this Remington Ultimate Defense .45 ACP load subsonic or supersonic?
This load is subsonic, traveling at 1015 feet per second. The lighter 185 grain bullet compared to standard 230 grain .45 ACP ammunition allows it to remain below the sound barrier while still delivering adequate penetration and expansion through the Golden Saber hollow point design.
What makes the Golden Saber bullet different from other hollow points?
The Golden Saber uses a brass jacket instead of gilding metal, making it thicker and more rigid for controlled expansion. The spiral-cut nose cavity is designed to expand reliably even at lower velocities, and the bullet maintains excellent weight retention for consistent penetration through common barriers.
Can I reload the brass cases from this ammunition?
Yes. The nickel-plated brass cases are boxer-primed and reloadable. The nickel plating makes them corrosion-resistant and they cycle smoothly through your firearm for reliable feeding and extraction, both initially and after reloading.
What firearms is this load suitable for?
This is a full-size handgun load designed for standard pressure .45 ACP firearms. It's appropriate for 1911s, striker-fired pistols, and revolvers chambered in .45 ACP. The subsonic velocity and 185 grain weight make it a good choice for both duty-size and compact carry weapons.
