ELEY chooses RMR bullets for their new line of match ammunition

Just an aside to this story. One of the Eley executives, not sure which one, is an IPSIC competitor which I feel sure led to Eley producing this line of center fire ammo. Since he can't take his race gun back to the UK with him, he stores it with a mutual friend in the US.

Congratulation Jake & co. We knew you were doing things right. And now it shows!

Technically that is not legal.By leaving it with a friend it is a transfer,

Congrats to Jake and team at RMR! This only confirms what many of us already knew: RMR makes quality bullets! Consistent, inexpensive and accurate!!

And a special tip of the hat to our own BDS for such great information and testing over the years!!

Time to order some more before everyone else gets clued in and they all go out of stock!

After reading all of the above comments, I placed my first order with RMR today (and it only took an hour or so to get an email notice that the order would ship today ... excellent service ! ! ! ) ... Thanks Jake !

congratulations jake!

Good to hear RMR is getting the recognition they deserve on the big stage. Hopefully it will be the start of others big names jumping on the ban wagon.

Yup! From rags to riches while we watched (and ordered). Pretty soon Jake will be rubbing cuff links with the "millionaires and billionaires" a recent president used to complain about !!

The only thing Jake needs now... the only thing he doesn't have... is a theme song !
So what we have here is his very own personal theme song,
as sung to the theme music from the "Beverly Hillbillies".


♫ Come and listen to my story 'bout a man named Jake,
A poor mountaineer, 'bout to starve for goodness sake !
Then one day he bought old bullets on a whim,
So he started sellin' seconds, pulls, and blems.
(Shined every single one by hand, he did.)

Next thing you know old Jake's a billionaire,
Kin folk said, Don't go to Commie-fornia, even on a dare !
Said Lewiston is the place you wanna go,
So they started shippin' bullets from their home in Idaho. ♫
(He don't need no stinkin' movie stars !)

Look for the CD in your next bullet shipment !

We had a conversation with them about this. I think they want to wait until they see how these super comp sell and then consider expanding.

Any specific market they are going after by offering this chambering? I shoot USPSA Limited and I don't really pay much attention to Open division, but I thought that 38 Super shooters were on the decline. It might still be a popular round in IPSC, which is probably who they are going after.

I had sort of a similar question. I would say the most serious Open guys still mostly shoot 38 super, as it feeds a little better, produces more gas to run the comp, and is generally thought to be slightly better for gun longevity than 9mm Major. But I think a substantial majority of recreational open shooters getting new guns these days are getting 9 Major guns. I do wonder if it is primarily the U.S. market being sought with the ammo or the world market. I have some sense that 38 super is remains a little more dominant in the world IPSC market because of a combination of laws against military rounds (9mm), lower rates of reloading among shooters, and higher average wealth among the IPSC market compared to USPSA.

Wait. RMR makes bullets???

Hehe... Congratulations Jake, and well deserved!

Dang. Posting old videos makes me blush. Anyone else hate the sound of their own voice?

Which one?? All the voices in my head know each other.

It's normal, we hear it in our head differently than others hear it, or we hear it on tape.

And all but the best microphones clip out a lot of the tones (the human voice is pretty acoustically complex), so what we hear in playback is always just a subset of what our voice really is.

I was very self-conscious about my voice for many years, as I perceived it (based on hearing it on answering machine messages) to be rather reedy and nasal. I grew up in the flight path of a combined naval air station, air force reserve base, and factory runway for Lockheed. I got "trained" to put some cut in my voice as a kid - otherwise, there was no way to carry on a conversation at recess some days. So there definitely is a cutting, nasal component to my voice. It's there, no doubt. But with better recording equipment, there's other stuff there, too.

On the plus side, I've never, ever, ever had a court reporter/transcriptionist ask me to speak up. Sometimes I'll go into a courtroom or hearing room and the clerk or bailiff will warn me the microphone is a little tricky and needs to be adjusted just right to pick up voices. I tell them I'm not worried about needing the mic to work. It has never been a problem.
