Got some RMR MPR's today.

[nettlle]

A heavy package in the mailbox and couldn't figure out what it was. It had been so long that I had forgotten that I had ordered them. Ordered 2/13/21 and came today. Nice surprise. They are my favorite practice bullets. 1K of 9mm 124gr.

Bottom photo is a 9mm side by side of the RMR 124gr and Speer Gold Dot 124gr (Gold Dot on the right). I reload the Gold Dots for self defense and practice with the MPR's.

Those are real nice bullets, shoot very well. My Colt likes them a lot. 7 yards, 7 shots.

Congrats! They are best bang for the bucks!

RMRs email yesterday said they were almost caught up with the MPRs. Their waiting on a shipment of lead cores.

I have been very happy with all of the 9mm bullets from RMR that I have used. I got that same email yesterday and decided to give the RMR 69 grain 223 bullets a try.

I just got in some of the 3GH 69 grain bullets in and have some loaded up to test, but I really want to try those 124 MPR’s. How do they compare to the gold dots?

 

[12Bravo20]

I'm interested in how the RMR 124Gr HP compares to the Speer 124Gr Gold Dots too.

I don't usually use 124Gr bullets in 9mm. I mostly use 124 or 125 grain bullets in my 9mm Largo. I can say that the RMR 115Gr bullets are just as good as the Speer 115Gr TMJ. Both have been pretty consistent as far as weight as such. And both do well in the accuracy department when I do my part. For the longest time all I used for range/practice ammo was Berry's or Rainier plated bullets. I can tell the difference between those and the RMR and Speer bullets. RMR plated and Speer TMJ are more consistent on weight and OAL.

I had 3k of them ordered and ended up cancelling the order. I ordered mine on Feb 28 th and being RMR ran out lead cores I have no idea when mine would be made.

I didn't want to wait any longer.

I think there were some folks that did a lot of testing on the RMRs and found them to be not only super accurate but to expand as well if not better than any other defensive round on the market.

@packetloss that is good to know. I will have to give the 124Gr HP bullets a try. I have been very happy with their 115Gr plated bullets so far. I also can't wait to try out the 223 69Gr bullets.

They expand well, but you have to push them to 1150fps or better to get expansion. My plans are to shoot for 1200fps from a 4" barrel with CFE Pistol. It will be a warm load, but it will work. Expansion in a longer barrel will be better due to increased velocity.

 

[packetloss]

They expand well, but you have to push them to 1150fps or better to get expansion.

Agreed. I would imagine that requirement would hold true for any brand of defensive projectiles, if you are looking to get proper expansion.

Not exactly. More velocity generally does yield better expansion, but it has alot more to do with bullet construction. Look at any commercially offered 147gr loading for 9mm, almost all of it is sub 1000fps, and most of it expands pretty well.

If you look directly at the 124gr defensive ammo, nothing is around 1200fps, so you can see, its a handful. Easily +P or better.
