I've been a Golden Saber fan and user for several years, but I wouldn't turn down HSTs if that's what was available. Hydra-Shoks, OTOH, you couldn't PAY me to use.
Do you care if it's the older version (which is inexpensive right now), or the newer version with the jacket bonded to the lead core?
Not really. I've been using it since well before the bonded version was out, so why switch? Buy it cheap and stock it deep, I say.
Nothing negative about the Remington but it's hard to argue the cost of hst.

for me I like all that Federal has to offer and I carried (in the past) a glock 21sf and 36 with the HST rounds and liked the way they shoot....never did like the way Remington Golden Sabers went through the gun....what do you think
HST... Accept no substitute!
