How well will the Remington 9MM 124 gr Golden Saber expand at 950 - 975 fps?

  Here is a guy who tested them in Jello.

  Well enough that I wouldn't want to get hit by one.
  
  Seriously, it probably opens up at that velocity.
  
  
  Edit:
  From Rufe's link above, the author claims that "all rounds expanded" at 1000 fps, with the following image:
  
  
  
  That seems like a "yes" to me.

  I have done flesh testing with them on a large chicken that died from sickness and a dead sheep carcass.
  
  The chicken, hit in the breast, kind of blew up with an exit hole the size of a golf ball at 20 yards. The bullet expanded like the pic above. The sheep was about the same, the bullet lodged under the skin on the far side, it too was well expanded. The sheep had pretty heavy hair the bullet sure messed up the lungs and heart.

  I've done some extensive testing myself. The results of the provided link are on par with my own.
  Gold dot and others work as well. For the winchester, stay away from the silver tips. You want to stick with the T series with them.
