Lot 1 RMR MPR Nukes arrived ....

My two loads for Remington 124gr. GSHP are 4.7gr. of Red Dot (barrel < 4") which makes around 900fps out of my Star Firestar with not too much drama and blast, and 7.0gr. of Blue Dot (barrel > 4") which makes around 1200fps out of my FEG "Hi-Power" with PLENTY of flash!

Both loads run every gun I've tried them in with a COAL of 1.09" using mixed range brass and are both fairly accurate at 25ft for close-range work. The Golden Saber box ammo I've looked at was seated longer but it wouldn't run in all of my guns.

If you have both powders and feel like working up some old-fashioned loads, those two have been good to me and Blue Dot is great for a carbine in 9mm.

 

I can't find the 147 "Nukes" on the website.....Did you have to call RMR about them...?

And those 147's in your pic don't look like the Nuke profile...........to me.

 

I too, am waiting for 147gr nukes, I haven't seen them on the website yet. The bag of 147gr in the pictures are RN "round nose"

 

Yeah, those are clearly 147gr FMJ-RN.

 

That's what I was understanding..... OP said he just had some shipped is why I was inquiring...

 

Words just don’t do for times like this. Condolences and prayers. All there is.

 

I wasn't calling you out by any means---never had that intention...

Just read the thread you linked---Like @GeoDudeFlorida already stated, NO WORDS...!
My condolences to the man's family and friends, that includes you.......be safe in your travels...

 

How about: “RMR puts the metal to the petal!”
I also plan to order some of the new “nukes” from RMR, see if I can disprove the old saying “a little nukie never hurt anyone”. On gophers in Montana anyway.

 

I’m looking forward to getting a few k myself as I’m almost out of my preferred gold dots for carry and they look to be a good replacement. It won’t be real soon as my iPad is going out and gets replaced first, but they are next in line. If you have any be-86 to test at around 1050-1100 I’d be interested in your findings.

So sorry for the loss of a truly wonderful person, just terrible all around.

 

I broke down and had to order 1k of the Nukes to try out. Seem to be a great bullet at that price point! These and RMR 147 FMJ are about all I need in 9mm. Big RMR fan! The RMR FMJ bullets are the same price as Berrys plated units... and are a lot tougher and more accurate. What's not to like?!? Now, if they would come out with a cheap 220 grain FMJ for the 300 BO, I'd be all set!

 

No harm! No foul! As we get older we all have similar times to what you are currently going through!!! At least for me anyway!!!

Prayers for you and your friends family! God Blessings to all!!!

Hang in there and have a safe trip!

 

I've been loading rmr 124 mpr and now the 124 nukes with 5.1g be86 at 1.060 oal. don't know the fps. That oal works in all my 9mm.

 

I have a couple thousand of those, too. Bought them on sale off the internet from the bankruptcy liquidator. I load them up with 6.0gr. of HS-6 and a standard primer. They don't expand but they do mushroom - at least, that's what they do on armadillos. But they do punch a nice hole and roll the little buggers. I haven't chrono'd that load, BTW. It's the same one I used for the Remington Golden Saber 124gr. and that load rocks. It doesn't just expand, it turns to shrapnel (old un-bonded GS's).
