Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Golden Sabre

I think our "problem" is we're trying to use static repeatable testing on dynamic problems. One of my mentors toted Hornady 225 grain flat points out of his 1911 because you could "flip a Charlie inside 50 yards" and yes I used the word Charlie instead of what Pete actually called them. I would really like to tote a Lcp in .380 but I KNOW I shoot a compact midsized 9mm better. I'm sure somebody will say I've been out in the sun too long.

Would you say you don’t see any advantage of even these Golden Saber bullets to hard casts?

It depends on what you need or want the bullet to do. Revolvers have the advantage over semi autos in that they don't have feeding issues and can have larger meplats.

Mackay_Sagebrush's 147 grain flat point hardcast definitely penetrates much more and leaves decent wound channels, judging by the 1 hog that I killed with them.
But there are situations that less penetration is desired. Definitely a place for both, IMHO
