Ordered mine on Wednesday. Can't wait to get them.

Thanks, Jake!

I've posted this before, so please forgive the indiscretion, but I just love this bullet. This was 40 shots, 20 through my gun and then 20 through my son's gun at a rate of about 1 shot per second with Jake's bullet. I know there's a lot of guys that can shoot a heck of a lot better than me, but this was was pretty good for me.

Interestingly enough, the bullets we were selling before the "shutdown" were great bullets that easily met match standards. Well, since we had a lot of time on our hands while we were down, we did a lot of experimenting with tooling and polishing different parts etc. The bullets we produce now are about 50% more consistent in OAL and dimensions. Not that it was bad before, but holy cow is it awesome now. We also are working on the tooling to make the 124 grain bullet too. However, we are a bit behind in the 115 production so it will be a while before we can make the 124 fmj. That said, the 124 HP machine is making progress and should be producing test bullets in about three to four weeks.

I'm like a kid on Christmas morning waiting for them to show up. It usually only takes the post orifice two days to get stuff from you to me, but the last batch they sent on a tour of Washington state before finally figuring out they went waaay down south to southern Utah. Took 10 days!

Oh, and I need to get back in touch with Joe... You know that $65 worth of frangibles I said you guys never shipped? Well, I got them. Finally. Stupid post office. So Joe didn't mess anything up, it was just the post office. So now I owe you guys 65 bucks.

Really looking forward to shooting the newest batch, as well as the 124's when they come out.
 
That's some pretty dang good shooting! Only guns I can shoot like that with are my HiPoint carbines with red dots.
 
Nice shooting!!
I really like RMR, great people, waiting on their made in house FMJ at 124/125gr for 9mm. (would be nice if it was an FN) For practice I prefer to stay subsonic but still want to make 125 PF.

What was the load, Powder, primer OAL?
 
Thanks, Gents, sheesh... much appreciated. The vertical string and the two fliers were with my son's gun. I'm still trying to get a feel for the trigger in his CZ.

The load was:

115 gr RMR house made fmj, which is by far the most accurate bullet I've shot through our two 9mm's so far. They sell several different 115 gr fmj's, so make sure you get the one that says that it's made in house at RMR.
5.2 gr CFE-pistol
CCI Small Pistol Primer
1.125 OAL

Edit: Here's the 5 shot chrono information, as shot through my S&W M&P C.O.R.E. 9L. It would have been ten shots, but there was a misunderstanding as to who was supposed to put the last box of ammo in the car...

High: 1185
Lo: 1158
Avg: 1173
ES: 27
SD: 11

just placed my first order of 1000, I assume they will shoot well and I will buy more.

I am currently using BE-86 to load some MBC Small ball cast lead, about 5.1g according to my notes and it is stupid accurate.

who is loading the RMR FMJ with BE-86 and if you don't mind what is your load?

I WILL start low and work up, not looking for a recipe to copy but more of a ballpark of when I should expect a good load.

Z, ran the 115's with a test ladder of 4.8, 5.0, 5.2 at 1.100 COL. Settled on the 5.0. No chony data yet. Used BE-86.
Also check out the BE-86 thread for more info

There's quite a bit of load info for RMR's 115 FMJ here: https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/so-what-are-your-loads-for-the-new-rmr-115-fmj.808605/ A quick glance back through the thread shows there's some BE-86 info, as well as a lot of helpful tips.
 
Started loading up the latest batch today! I've got 2,000 of them ready to go through the ten-fidd(l)y. Going to increase the OAL up to 1.130 as long as I don't run into neck tension issues.

As Jake mentioned, they are a different color... they're beautiful bullets.

Going to weigh/measure a few of them, too.
