Opinions, Rocky Mountain Reloading bullets

[armoredman]

I read from one person on another board about good quality stuff with their new "Nuke" line of JHP bullets, (they open up to look like the trefoil when expanded), and they have some others that would work well in plinking reloading. Prices are quite reasonable, actually low - anyone have experience with them? I confess I have been so stuck with what I can get from MidwayUSA that I haven't paid much attention elsewhere.
Thank you for your reply

I have purchased several hundred 45 cal FMJ bullets, over 1,000 various weight/style .355"bullets for my 9mms. I have found all have been very consistent and excellent quality. I have reloaded a few hundred of the "old style" 124 gr JHP with very good perormnce. I have reloaded a few 124 Nukes but have not fired into water jugs or my newsprint backstop, but find them as accurate as any premium bullet I have tried. Reloaded some 115 Nukes but only fired a few testing for functioning in my Ruger LC9s pistol. Every order has been handled accurately and quickly. Good prices, excellent quality, quick service.

their new "Nuke" line of JHP bullets ... plinking reloading. Prices are quite reasonable, actually low - anyone have experience with them?

RMR sells jacketed bullets they manufacture onsite in .380Auto/9mm/.357/.223 called "in-house" jacketed bullets - https://www.rmrbullets.com/product-category/rmr-in-house/

They are used by ELEY for their centerfire match ammunition - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.p...or-their-new-line-of-match-ammunition.854750/

A very well known match ammo MFG [Turns out ELEY] is going to use our bullets for production of their match ammo. Our name won't be on the box or anything but we will be allowed to tell people that it's our bullets.

This is what Guns America Digest found when they examined RMR jacketed bullets for consistency - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.p...ine-of-match-ammunition.854750/#post-11202091

• ... randomly selected 20 bullets of the thousand round package ... every one of the 20 bullets measuring .3555 exact in diameter. And with this consistency, it typically means that one of the most important control measures has been met. Not all bullet manufacturers maintain this degree of consistency.

• ... you want a very minimal spread on bullet-to-bullet weight ... weighed the 20 bullets. Four bullets weighed 123.9 grains, three bullets weighed 124.0, nine bullets weighed 124.1, and 3 bullets weighed 124.2. That is a spread of .3 of a grain overall. Better than acceptable as far as I am concerned.

• RMR 9mm 124 JHP’s produced exceptional results [Sub 1" groups at 22 yards].

When I shot USPSA in the 90s, I weighed different jacketed/plated/lead bullets and saw bullet-to-bullet weight variance around 0.5 gr with some jacketed and 1.0+ gr with plated/lead bullets. I ended up using Montana Gold jacketed bullets due to greater weight variance but when RMR started making their "in-house" jacketed bullets, I found weight variance to be less than 0.5 gr often around .3 gr. This is really good "match grade" weight consistency.

Another thing Jake mentioned is more consistent bullet nose profile/ogive from new bullet dies and standards which he works to maintain the level of consistency in bullet weight/diameter/nose profile. I found this to be true when I got more consistent finished OALs (As my bullet seating stem pushed not at the tip but further down on ogive and OAL consistency depends on bullet nose shape consistency) and I now use RMR "in-house" jacketed bullets as reference bullets for various myth busting and load development tests.

This consistency is what likely resulted in finished OAL variance as low as .001" depending on headstamp case loaded in progressive mode (Shellplate full) with Pro 6000 - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.p...r-oal-consistency.911743/page-3#post-12446468

Finished OAL variance down to .000" - .002" loaded in progressive mode with 2023 Pro 1000 - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.p...pro-1000-unboxing.916672/page-2#post-12569726

So yes, you are getting "ELEY match grade" consistent bullets at bulk bullet pricing with 5% THR discount.

Great service from a small business is something I have come to expect from RMR as well I have always been happy with the bullets that I've bought from them.

 

[JEBruns]

Yep, great folks to work with. I've shot 10's of thousands of their 9mm's. Always happy with them. Their bulk .223 bullets I've not been able to get to shoot well out of my AR, but others seem to have decent luck with them.

 

[DMW1116]

I’ve only tried their 147 grain HMW Flat Point 9mm and 69 grain 223 bullets but they both shoot great. The 9mm HMW is my go to bullet for target loads in my Canik Mete SFX. If I don’t mess up it will shoot single hole groups at 10 yards with HS6 and probably Titegroup, though I haven’t tried the latter. Pic is turned sideways. I’m trying to center windage on the red line with my red dot.


I’m still messing with my load for the 69 grain 223 bullet but it shot really well from my 20” A4 clone with Tactical Rifle powder.

 

[Hartkopf]

I love the 124gr TC for range practice, loaded warm with HS-6 or longshot. They also happen to be pretty accurate out of a stock Glock.

Just tested some 115gr Nukes loaded hot (and too hot) out of a stock Glock 17. They are solidly accurate at higher velocities. I need more proper testing but my early results are looking promising.

ps I’ve shot several thousand RMR bullets and they are all I will buy.

 

[Otto]

Checking my records, I’ve purchased 29,000.
So yeah, they’re ok.
I also like Precision Deltas, Black Bullets International and especially HAP’s.

 

[kcofohio]

Low volume reloader/shooter here. But I have made several orders with RMR in various calibers. Always satisfied with my purchases.

 

[Walkalong]

As posted, RMR is good to go. I have liked everything I have purchased from them. My needs are a good price for accurate bullets, and they have delivered.

 

[Hugger-4641]

Ditto here. RMR bullets are great.
Everglades is another vendor that sells them, but they don't tell you exactly where any given bullet they have is sourced from.

PM sent.

 

[AJC1]

I've bought their 9mm match winners, by the thousands when I shot 9mm, I currently buy their 69 grain 223 by the thousands and lead every chance I have a little extra scratch. Great company, great product.... Jake will also answer questions here if you need help.

 

[CoalCrackerAl]

I too am very happy with their bullets.

 

[JohnB-40]

Great company to deal with excellent products and business practices.

There are a gazillion posts here on RMR, Owner is a member here. His bullets are great,

I’ve given up trying to explain the search function. It’s just too easy to ask the same questions over and over and over… Problem is that gets all the same answers over and over again…

That's the short and sweet of it!!!

Great products, great people, great service, great attitudes and they are members here!!! Jake is always full of help as well.

You may not be able to find better elsewhere!!!

So I shouldn't start that thread about what's happening with the new primer plants? Something about Texarkana?

 

[dfish1247]

Several folks including me love their stuff.

There .41 and .357 bullets in my loading adventures highly preferred imr4227 over anything else. 10mm is AA9 and unique. The heavy .224’s, I haven’t found a powder and primer combo yet that won’t do minute of dime at 200yds. That’s plenty good enough for me.

 

[Larry in wyoming]

So.... @longdayjake
When is that 185gr 45 cal nuke coming out anyway?
Or, just to be different, how about a 165gr in 40 and 45?

I'd feel a lot more comfortable about surviving the zombie apocalypse or the Harris / Newsome administration with either or both of those.
LOL LOL LOL

 

[armoredman]

Thank you for the positive comments, looks like payday I will be placing an order with them. Much appreciated!

 

[GooseGestapo]

Be sure to ask for the THR discount.
Also, subscribe to the emails as he runs promotions.
They’re good enough that ELEY is using them in their American manufactured center fire pistol ammunition…
In the past, I used a lot of Precision Delta. Have met owner several times….
Also Atlanta arms , Zero, and Georgia Arms…
I can get RMR cheaper shipped than others before shipping.

Another RMR bullet fan here.

 

[PistoleroWadcutterGANG]

With sincere respect. RMR please make 115gr 6.5 caliber HPBT or FMJ bullet. I think that would be fantastic in my Grendel.
