Got my 1k order in today after 10 days in postal limbo. It's very aggravating watching it bounce around in my area. But now I have it.
This is where my OCD kicks in.
I'm one of those people that weighs all components prior to assembly.
I haven't finished yet on the bullets but I have about 1/2 completed. I am very impressed with the weight spread of the one's measured.

69.2 2/3
69.3 1/3
69.1 15 pieces

Now to try some loadings to see how accurate they are. This probably will not happen for a month or so do to weather.

By the way THANK YOU RMR

That is pretty good tolerance. I wouldn't even sort them.

I found the same thing. I liked them so well that I ordered 3K more.
 
I just finished them off on weight.
3/4 96.2
1/4 96.3
16 96.1
2 above 96.3
These numbers are far superior to any bullets I have ever used.
I probably did not need to sort, but I did find 1 outlier at 96.6 :cuss::cuss::cuss::cuss::cuss::cuss::cuss:
It don't get any better.
At my age I don't think I need any more. At these prices, quality and expected performance I may just have to buy a couple k more.
One more time
Thank you RMR
 
You must have shot them through a vacuum:thumbup:

They are shooters for sure. I picked 20 at random from the bag, and mine were all +/-.1 gr on the FX120i, with the average being 69.1gr. I had that crazy outlier, which also is what messed up the SD on the load as well. I will probably run a 10 shot group of these at some point when I have time. Otherwise not too shabby for mixed year LC brass, CCI 400s, 8208 and a reasonably priced bullet. I have room in the case and I had another loading quite a bit higher that showed no pressure signs, but only OK accuracy, so I may chase these to about 3050fps if it will allow it.

I almost hate to post that pic, but after I shot that group, I bought another 2k of them! ;)
Good on Jake and his crew for making a dang good bullet
 
They are pretty accurate ;)

That one out there never happens to me on the first shot, all the rest have to do is follow the first one........
So why does there always seem to be one bullet that is just to bleep stupid to follow the others?

Thanks for the results, looks like 8208 works well for you.
 
I just received my 1K of the RMR 69gr FMJBT's 3-days ago. It only took about 8-days from ordering to delivery, which I think is awesome. I loaded them up with the same recipe that I use for the Sierra 69gr SMK's and every group was at least 1/4" MOA better than the SMK's. Thank you RMR for an excellent bullet!

I suspect it was just a difference in the cases on that flier. Im not using match brass by any means with mixed year Lake City. I wish I had the specific order on shots fired so I could look at my Labradar's data and see if that was the shot that hosed the SD as well. I know the powder was right on as I ran all that with my AutoTrickler.
