I bought 2000 of these over a year ago - can't find the order email, can't remember the company and lost the label I kept in a house move. From memory it is 124g, but cannot remember if it was plated or jacket.

I have a suspicion that they are RMR, but can't find a decent photo of their HP bullets to compare the base which is not a normal flat base.

I don't think it was Speer. I'm thinking I bought them from RMR, Everglades, TJ Conevera or someone like that in early 2016 - at the time they were being touted on several forums as really good value. Might be Hornady, but I think the shape of the base would be the giveaway if someone had one to compare.

Cannot believe I lost the label. Have spent an hour pouring through bank statements, emails and website logins trying to find where I bought them! They came in two big bulk bags of 1000 so I transferred them to plastic containers. None of the packaging is left.

It looks like a brass jacket, at least on my monitor. If so, it may be Montana Gold.
 
Well, you know it is jacketed, and after you weigh it you will have all you need to find load data.

I always put labels inside the boxes with everything not labeled on the outside. :)

Yeah, I opened the jar expecting to find that I would have something in there that would say what it was. If one of my employees had treated inventory like this there would have been a retraining exercise!

New dilemma - Lee powder scales only weigh to 110 grains.

I do think that these are the Everglade. Might even give them a call and see if they have my shipping address on file as that would clinch it.
 
None of mine make it that long that I need to worry about what they are. I buy bullets, load them all, shoot them all. ;)

What is the diameter of the bullets? 110 usually is for 38/357.
 
I think a number of makers fold the jacket or plating over like that on the base. Even if you purchased from RMR it could be any manufacturer. RMR is fairly new into making their own bullets and still sells stuff from various manufactures.
I wouldn't worry about who made it.
 
The 124 gr. RMR JHP bullets I have do not have the same base at the one pictured. I've purchased them twice, once about 5 years ago and again just a few months ago...
 
They look like Precision Delta bullets. They ran sales a couple years ago where you could buy 2000 at a time for a ridiculously low price, I believe the ones I bought worked out to $8. something per hundred. My Precision Delta bullet from that time period look exactly like the ones you have in your pictures.
 
Make sure to check the diameter. I have a box from Magnus Bullets that look like that and they measure very close to 0.356, not the 0.355 we expect with jacketed bullets.
 
Ok, The Precision Delta's I have measure out at .355 even and are definitely JHP's. They are 124 gr. They fit the op's time period of purchase, but that means nothing in the long run.
Walkalong's post 9 is all that really matters.

Dude - that was it! Searched my inbox for Precision Delta. Found this :)

I just love a happy ending! lol

So now that you are sure those bullets are 124gr JHP bullets which powder are you using to load them up? What are all the Stats for the load?
 
I haven't loaded these before - ran out of Berry's plated, have Power Pistol, BE-86 and HP-38 on hand. Did a stocktake of my components and loaded ammo, I don't need to load 9mm for a whiles yet!
 
Kind of looks like one of the HAP bullets from Hornady. THat would be my guess.
I agree it fits the Hornady HAP bullets profile and how the lead an jacket form together at the nose. It also has so serrations on the bullet like some of the generic 124 gr. HP bullets do.
