I was searching up some loads on 124 gr. JHPs and found Hodgdon list a RMR 124 gr JHP in their 9mm data.

Did @longdayjake make the big times again?

I only found data for #5 and True Blue. And I did not see that bullet listed in Western Powders' Handloading Guide.
 
That is probably data from Accurate.
You're probably right. It's that I looked in my physical manual and the Western Powder downloads and don't see any listings for the bullet. But they may have tested them just before Hodgdon took over.
 
You're right, I left that off.

If the listed bullets at Hodgdon are truly from Rocky Mountain Reloading? And if they are pre-Nuke JHP?
I'd think the people to ask for a reliable answer would be Hodgdon or RMR. But, that's just me. ymmv :)

I submitted the questions to RMR. I did find basically the same question posted on RMR's forum from back in May. They found the data on Western guide 8.0. Nobody there had posted the answer.
 
I received an email back from RMR. It said that the load is good for the Nuke. But it stated that the OAL may not work in CZ, Canik, or 5 gen Glocks.
 
I was able to download the Western's 8.0 guide. It also has RMRs 135 gr. FP list with some powders. I suspect that they would be listed on Hodgdon's website, but I haven't looked yet.
 
2020 was my first RMR purchase, and certainly won't be my last. Glad to see them catching on, and hoping to see them get broader recognition in load data and expanded product lines and capacity going forward. I'd really love to see what they could do in a well constructed cup and core hunting bullet for rifles!

I've been pleased with my orders from RMR. I hope they continue to grow.
For what it's worth, I have some leftover Nosler's 124 JHP. I measured OAL, and their just .002" longer than the 124 gr. Nukes. And Nosler's load data shows COAL at 1.120". If they pass the plunk test, that's even more data. :)
