Thoughts on RMR bullets??

They are fantastic. I have used several thousand of the 124 rn fmj. They are very consistent in weight and size. They ship very quickly and are excellent to do business with. The owner is a member here also (longdayjake), and he gives a 5% discount to THR members.

Some of the best pistol bullets on the market. And jake is an incredible resource.

The onoy place i buy bullets anymore. Still haven't figured out where to find the dscount code though.

Everything I bought from RMR I was very happy with.

Another completely satisfied RMR customer. Just picked up another 1k .308 pulls to feed the new not-an-SBR.

Another happy customer. At least 20,000 round from them so far. 100% satisfied.

Has anyone tried the new 9mm 115 gr MPR JHP? I'm thinking about getting some and working up a good fast load for my 9mm carbine.

Because RMR RN and HP bullets use a rather blunt ogive shape, if your handguns use a "match barrel" or are a brand that has a short freebore (CZ, Croatian made Springfields, or similar) your cartridge OAL may come out surprisingly short. For example, the Max OAL for the 124gr RMR HP in my CZ is 1.065".

If you can live with that, then you're in for some very accurate shooting.

I did notice from the first batch of 1000 9mm RMR 124 JHP's I ordered to this last batch that i just got the bullet length increased from .545 to .556. Not sure if the increase matters or where they lengthened the bullet as I had my die set for something else so couldn't try seating one of the new ones to see if the longer bullet effected OAL or not.

Even their "seconds" are great (and when available are a great buy)

Thanks everyone. I'm going to put a order in and give them a try. Hopefully I'll be another satisfied customer also.

You won't be disappointed, many of his bullets are made in-house and at a great price. The owner is a member here so you have easy access to him. (longdayjake)

I'm shooting their 124gr HP Multi Purpose Rounds and I'm very happy with their accuracy. $99/1000. The same bullets in 115gr are only $96/1000.
I just bought 2000 because they go down to 9.1¢/round from 9.9¢ a round when you buy 2000.

Just loaded 120 last night. Way more accurate than factory ammo.

RMR bullets ... Are they pretty consistent on weight and size?

Click to expand...

When I shot USPSA in the 90s, my reloading and shooting mentor was a bullseye match shooter who was a stickler on consistency to produce sub 2" groups at 50 yards when I was trying to produce sub 2" groups at 25 yards. He emphasized the importance of component consistency which produces consistency of finished round's dimensions (He sorted bullets by exact weight and would scrape the lead base of FMJ when they weren't).

For my match loads, I used Montana Gold jacketed bullets exclusively (And no, I did not scrape the bottom of FMJ ) as they were more consistent than other bulk bullets I tried in weight (Less than 1.0 gr) and OAL/COL.

When RMR purchased NEW bullet machines with NEW dies to produce their in-house jacketed bullets (New dies and machines will produce bullets with more consistent nose profile/ogive than older/worn machines/dies ), owner Jake set out to produce very consistent match grade level bullets to go as far as being particular about proper lead alloy core mix to produce consistency in weight. On my Ohaus ASTM Class 6 check weight verified scales (Down to .06 gr/4 mg check weights), RMR jacketed bullet weight variance is often less than .5 gr.

With 115 gr FMJ, OAL variance is less than .003" using mixed range brass and .001" using pre-resized brass. With 124 gr FP Match Winner, OAL variance is less than .002" using mixed range brass and .001" using pre-resized brass. (Measurements were taken with .355" pin gauge verified FA dial calipers) - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.p...progressive-press.833604/page-2#post-10779806

Many consider Hornady HAP bullets (Jacketed HP without expansion cuts of XTP) to be accuracy standard/reference for match shooting. And IIRC, Zero bullets (Another highly regarded bullets for consistency) were used during the last great component shortage by Atlanta Arms to produce their match ammunition. When RMR started producing their in-house jacketed bullets, I did a comparison testing and below are my results - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/favorite-9mm-38spl-powder.827483/#post-10663092

25 yard 10 shot group testing with 17" Just Right carbine (Adjustable stock) and Zero 115 gr FMJ, RMR 115 gr FMJ and Hornady 115 gr HAP

Great writeup bds, as usual.

They’re awful
Between the great prices, great products, great service and an owner who is a member here and who posts from time to time you’ll find yourself ordering from them a lot. And what you don’t youll be th8nkng about it.

Seriously many of us th8n’ the world of RMR

All I wanted to say has been said above so simply

Plus 1

I have used many many thousands of RMR bullets. Mostly, 115gr/9mm but others, too. They are as good as any and much better that most. Besides supporting a good company you get an excellent product. Don't hesitate. Buy a few thousand and find out for yourself.

RMR is our primary go to for bullets. Only use one other company for stuff RMR does not carry or as a back up when they run out and waiting re-supply

Thank you guys for the good reviews! We’ve been making 9mm jacketed bullets now for about two and a half years. The stuff that BDS tested was from the very first 115s that we ever made. We’ve learned so much about the manufacturing process since then that the quality and consistency of what we make now is, in my opinion, way higher. We are still learning new tricks and little things to increase the consistency and quality, but unless you’re trying to make hundreds of thousands bullets exactly alike for a single lot you won’t notice the differences like I will. I guess that’s just a long way of saying that we’re evem better at it now than we were back then. And as always If there’s ever an issue we stand behind our products with a satisfaction guarantee.

One thing about what BDS said isn’t quite accurate. Technically the frames of our machines are not new. They are quite old. Some are from the 50s-60s. That said, most of the gears, cams, and other moving parts are brand new. What’s really important about what we do is that all of the bullet tooling, including the die blocks, dies, punches, and ejectors are brand new. The old frames are huge and solid which means there’s no flex whatsoever. The new tooling and process that’s been put through it ensures a ridiculous amount of concentricity in the jacket. We bought new lead core machines to feed the bullet assembly machines and we’re basically rebuilding them a little bit at a time as we find new ways to make our cores more consistent. The manufacturers of our core machines would hardly recognize their machines if they saw what we’ve done to make them better.

Anyway, if you ever have any questions or need help just let me know. That’s what I’m here for.

Well this thread ought'a make Jake (longdayjake) proud.
Yes, RMR has the good stuff.

Well, looks like it's time for another round of updated review and testing of RMR in-house jacketed bullets using "current production" bullets to include new bullets like 115 gr JHP (Mini MPR), 115 gr FP Match Winner (Mini MW) and 135 gr FP MW (Heavier MW).

I stand corrected. Thanks for the clarification.

But my comments on new machine parts producing more consistent bullet nose profile/ogive for more consistent OAL/COL remains.
