Pictured below is a 45 acp 185 grain hollow point. Can anyone guess what brand it is. (I actually don’t know)

Looks kind of like the Remington Golden Sabre. Anything on the base?

If they are reloads I would guess Montana Gold Bullets.

EDITED:
I am going to retract my suggestion of x-tremes and agree tentatively with the suggestion of Montana Gold bullets.

They are indeed reloads I put together about a year ago.

They look copper-jacketed, not brass-jacketed, so I don’t think they’re Montana Gold.

My first guess was Copper Talons (Winchester Ranger T-Series).
But they don't make a 185gr........................  _________________ NRA Endowment Member. How did they know my member was well endowed? |

Definitely not Montana Gold, Golden Sabre, Gold Dot, or Hornady XTP bullets.
Montana Gold have crimped jackets around the hollow point. Golden Sabres are brass colored, and have jacket petals folded over each other at the nose. Gold Dots are a more conical hollow point shape with less of a rim around the hollow point. XTP bullets are more of a truncated cone nose profile and the rim of the hollow point looks different. I don't think they are Sierra or Nosler bullets either, or Speer, the hollow point rims look different on all of those. Guntrader wrote: My first guess was Copper Talons (Winchester Ranger T-Series). But they don't make a 185gr........................ I think you're close; those may be one version of the Winchester SXT bullet released after the T-Series. I tested some of them ~15 years ago, they were OK but not nearly as good as the originals. IIRC Winchester has changed the SXT design several times and one of them looked like that. They could also be the somewhat generic Remington hollow points, not the Golden Sabre but their cheaper alternatives. This may be more likely than the SXT actually, if they're reloads. Remington uses those scallops in the end of the jacket around the hollow point on several of their handgun bullets; you can see them easily on the 158gr .357" hollow point which has an exposed lead tip, and the scallops aren't folded over. Edit - I bet it's the Remington "HTP" bullet. Looks pretty similar to these pics: https://www.luckygunner.com/45-acp-185-gr-jhp-remington-htp-50-rounds#geltest Last edited by Yondering on Wed Oct 25, 2017 8:54 pm, edited 1 time in total. |

With that rounded edge on the hollow point leaf and the round ogive the only thing similar I can find are Remington's HTP style bullet.

The Remington HTP looks identical to what I have. I think the case is solved.
