RMR 115gr MMPR

[CMV]

They still make the 115gr? 124 is all I see on website. Bought some a while ago and was playing around with them this weekend. I was kind of impressed with them.

4.8gr W231, CCI #500, 1.075" OAL from a little Springfield Hellcat vs 1 gal water jugs.....

3rd jug caught the bullet. It hit rear of jug and dented it, but didn't pierce back wall. In this super-scientific test, the bullet performed pretty well. Still have 114.1gr left, just a tiny piece of jacket broke off.

Accuracy was pretty good and I noticed a little less jacket spatter coming back when shooting steel targets vs typical jacketed FMJ (but that's pretty random & infrequent to begin with).


If I were to measure the expansion, how is that customarily measured? The mushroom of the lead core or the peeled back jacket? The lead core is .538" so about 150% original diameter. The jacket it .778" but doesn't seem correct to say the bullet more than doubled in diameter.

Anyway, even out of something with a short barrel and a not-at-all-hot load, I think it destroys water jugs excellently!

I believe they are still making them, but right now are working on cranking out the more popular bullets. (They are crazy busy at the moment)

This is part of an email Jake sent out to customers

This week are are going to switch three of the machines over so that we can make all of the 115 HP, .380, and 135 FMJ. We only have enough orders for them to take a couple of days to make all that we need to fill those orders. Once those are done, we will switch right back to the most popular stuff. (Don't worry, we are still gonna make the more popular 115 and 124 FMJs while we work on these others. We have plenty of lead cores made to keep rolling those out for a few days). Until we can get caught up on the 115 fmj, 124 fmj/hp, and 147 FMJ we won't be making anymore of the 115 HP, 135 fmj, or .380. I know some of you guys love them but we just have so many more orders for the others that we have to dedicate as much capacity to them as possible.

So I believe they are still making them.
Jake the owner, is THR member LongdayJake, you could PM him if you want to find out for sure.

Jake said they were ceasing production of all but the most popular until they catch up on orders, they'll be back but not soon.
