No, it is not as bad as primers, but I did put an order in in October, and finally today I was able to pick up a 1,000 RMR 115gr FMJ RN bullets. An added bonus today was meeting Joe Durnbaugh, the shipping Manager at RMR. Joe, thanks for always being courteous over the phone, and treating me like family.
Now back to the 115gr bullets. I have been reloading 9mm for a while, but have only loaded 69 rounds in total using 115gr bullets. This will basically be new for me, and I am hoping that I will be able to find a load or two that will challenge my 357sig and 40s&w accuracy loads.
Where do I start?
First I will decide on a COL and then create a few dummy rounds. The 69 rounds I have created were all using a COL of 1.135", and I used Power Pistol. I will probably start with 1.135" and Power Pistol again. Load data I normally trust is the Speer data, so I will probably do their suggested 6.2gr to 6.7gr range.
I have already created the dummy rounds and cycled them though my gun. Plunk test was also good and no setback has been observed.
I have fallen a bit behind in my testing with all the snow on the ground in the National Forest, but will make some plans to get some of my testing done. All my test results will be shared since al lot of members buy the RMR 115gr bullets and will probably look forward to compare their results against mine.
As always, any comments or suggestions regarding loading this RMR 115gr bullet in 9mm will be appreciated.
