head stamp on new R-P

[MMCSRET]

Was given some new once fired 9mm Luger brass today. It is R-P marked
"9 Luger" When did Remington institute this fantastically effective cost cutting move? Does "M/M" cost that much?

The number Nine is the preferred nomenclature in todays culture.

As in: "Izz gonna cap yoazz wid my 9 if yo aint quit dissing me!"

I see it as a shrewd marketing move by Remington to cater to todays most prolific 9mm ammo buyers.

Next year, the .40 S&W headstamp will be changed to R-P FO-TAY!

A shame they can't stamp "I am the only one professional enough in this room....." on it. .

I don't know what we would do without you rcmodel...

The only thing I can think of is the common usage of the term "9 Luger". At least you know it's not 9x18, 9x21, 9x23, 9mm Largo, 9x25, etc.

I know what it is. I was just curious as to when they started leaving the m/m off the headstamp.

I love my 9m/m & maybe it's finally losing it's stigma of being a "Micky/Mouse" cartridge.

they change all the headstamps periodically, either in spacing or in lettering, it keeps track of age of the brass. I have RP 9mil stuff that has all sorts of different markings on it.

What I hate is when they change headstamps and magically the brass picks up an average 5 grains in weight (22-250).

Now I have like 10 different headstamps and weight classes...argggg...why can't it all just be simple!

I have RP 9mm Luger brass, +P, and +P+.
It is all primed and all good stuff.
It is all the same.
