RMR Bullet Orders ... FAST!

[GBExpat]

It has been awhile since I ordered from RMR (or anywhere, ftm) so I had forgotten just how fast they are.

On Friday morning I placed orders for 1000/ea 9mm 124gr HST Pulls and the new 124gr RMR Double-Stuff Plated roundnose ... both were delivered today.

Everything that I received looks great ... as usual.

BTW, when you place your orders at RMR don't forget to take advantage of the THR 5% coupon as explained here:

Thanks, Jake!

9mm 124gr HST Pulls

Hate I missed those. I bought 1K 124 Gr Gold Dot pulls the last time he had those.

 

[GBExpat]

Actually, I was there looking (hoping) to get some more Gold Dot Pulls when I saw the HSTs.

After jumping on those I remembered reading here about the new Double-Stuff Plateds that had just come on-line, so I snagged a sack of those to try.

Walkalong. We have a few left. We were just a little bit scared that we would over sell them so we listed less than we think we have. (the huge counting scales are only so accurate) Let us get through today's orders and I will see how many we have left.

Also, for those where were asking, we got some 124 grain flat point in 9mm as well as some 147 grain RN. All our thick plated version. I still have to put the 147's up on the website but they should be up soon. Also, we just got some jacketed 9mm 115 and 124 as well as some 30 carbine.

aw shux ! i just ordered a thousand 9mm RN's and forgot all about that... oh well i'll be happy to get my order either way

 

[Walkalong]

Well, I ordered 1K of the pulled .22 Cal 55 Gr Speer Deep Curl bullets last night. Already shipped.

I would be interested in some of the 9MM 124 Gr HST bullets if you have some Jake.

Here is a quick pic of the bullets from my order:



Something that I just noticed in the last hour, or so ... the "Double-Stuff" bullets in the container on the right are supposed to be "9mm 124 Grain RMR Thickly Plated Flat Nose"

I must confess that when I opened the package I was a little surprised at myself for ordering roundnose 124s when I already have some (look-alike) 147 round nose plated bullets on-hand (like many reloaders, I suspect, I try not to duplicate the same shapes on same caliber bullets of different weights)

Now I remember that what I thought I was ordering (which matched both the page title, page pic and order emails) was the flat nose bullets.

THAT SAID ... these 1000 round nose bullets that I received represent no major issue for me. I will simply color-code the primers of cartridges topped by one of the two round nose plated bullets.

So, the 9MM HST has a cannelure?

 

[Mad Chemist]

Jake,

Are you going to put the HST bullets up on 500ct increments or just the 1000ct?

I'd like to buy some but I don't need 1000 premium bullets.

 

[GBExpat]

So, the 9MM HST has a cannelure?

Yes it does. Also, the collet marks are very slight.

 

[longdayjake]

So, the 9MM HST has a cannelure?

The cannelure is NOT for crimping. The cannelure is the method used to keep the jacket and core together after impact. It is a very deep cannelure that squeezes into the core. The cannleure should be seated under the mouth of the case.

Are you going to put the HST bullets up on 500ct increments or just the 1000ct?

If we have any left they will likely go on as just the 500 count

 

[Walkalong]

Any idea when.

 

[longdayjake]

Im working on it now. I'm actually away from the shop today. I have to meet with a prosecutor about my stolen credit card and firearm.

 

[longdayjake]

Walkalong. Try again. They are now up and selling. So is the 500 count.

 

[Walkalong]

Done, thanks.

Order placed on the 10th at 9:18, got ship details at 10:20, received order on the 12th at 10:15 in St. Louis. It doesn't get any better than that!

 

[GBExpat]

I realized that I had never posted a pic of how I managed to not easily confuse rounds loaded with my pre-existing 147gr Plated RN bullets and the RMR 124gr Plated RN OOPS bullets.



I used a solution of Liver of Sulphur to change the color of the plating.

 

[GBExpat]

And here is a quick pic of how they look loaded ...

 

[longdayjake]

Wow, that's quite the thread resurrection.

Does the sulphur do anything other than change the color?

 

[GBExpat]

No, all it does is change the color.

I must confess that the color has grown on me, I really like the way these look.

BTW, I received my 1k order of 95gr .380 HPs Wednesday. Not surprisingly, they look great, Jake, Thanks!

[ColoradoShooter77]

Its not RMR's fault, but the post office took 4 days to get my last order to me.

 

[reddog81]

At least it was the OP who did the thread resurrection...

The thing I like about RMR is that the price quoted on the website includes shipping.

Also the new website format is nice

Speaking of RMR, I placed an order today @ 3:55 PM. It wasn't until 3:59 PM that it was at shipping and I had a tracking number. How do they expect to stay in business like that

Great job, got some 9mm made there at RMR and some 180 10mm just because.
