I shot several different brands of .45 ammo into a common kitchen trash can full of water (hydra-shock,PMC Starfire,and Golden Saber) Afterwords HS looked text book, Starfire did not expand and went through the bottom of the trash can, and Golden Saber also performed text book. The Hydra-Shock round almost lost it's jacket, and some weeks later after handling it, it did, but I have yet to see another round pictured like this. The Golden Saber round lost it's jacket totally. I though this was just an every now and then happening, however, since then, every fired Golden Saber round I've seen pictured, has a shedded jacket. I even saw a concerned post at another forum mentioning the exact same occurence. Is this supposed to happen with Golden Sabers? They always seem to have a high ranking in performance....
From what I've read, you don't particuliarily want a bullet to shed it's jacket. Is this true? And if so, is Golden Saber rounds negatively affected by the jacket shedding. Also, I have noticed Cor-Bon also sheds its jacket on a fairly regular basis (though not as much as Golden Saber). I'd appreciate any input on shedding jackets. Thanks......
