Speer 9mm 124 gr. TMJ

[CopperFouling]

So I am starting to run a little low on 9mm bullets. My favorite bullet is the Speer 9mm 124 gr. TMJ (Speer part number 3993), as that is what I have been loading for a few years now with good results. Not surprisingly, all the retailers that usually stock them are out. Has anyone seen these in stock recently?

RMR sells plated equivalents that could work depending on what you’re doing. Might have to just get on the back order list and wait a few weeks.

I haven’t seen any either. I like to have several bullet/powder combinations so when one supply dries up another can be used. Good luck.

I'm a big 124grn FMJ user... I just got a box of RMR's, they load and perform just like the Speers, in fact, I don't think I even had to adjust for OAL.

Thanks. OAL was my concern. Those 9mm cases do not have a lot of extra room in them with 4.2 grains of Bullseye.

I've ordered from RMR many times in the past and don't have an issue waiting a month or two for the bullets to arrive. I have plenty of .38 Special and .357 Magnums to load in the meantime.

Heads up: Optics Planet has seven 600-count boxes of these left for $92 apiece. I ordered two this morning. They should be here in ten to twelve...years.

For that price you could have had 1000 from Rocky Mntn Reloading, in place of 600.

Possibly like you, I can't risk loading bullets with exposed lead on the base. I find that RMR's 124gr JHP satisfies my accuracy and health needs at an excellent price point.

Yep.

It's not the end of the world to have the exposed lead, but if I have the opportunity not to have it, I usually take it.

X-treme has a Christmas sale on now, had some 9 mm plated bullets in the ad...I like 'em, I still have plenty of their 9's and .45's on hand.

(Watch out for the X-treme, if you don't get the address correct, you get an Over 50 dating site...)

I have used a lot of RMR in recent years, as well as Everglades, just bought 500 115 gr RNCP from the latter, didn't have to wait long. I only punch paper for fun.

Just checked the Everglade site, for 1000 of the cheapo 115 gr RNCP $109 with free shipping. I haven't ever evaluated them for accuracy, good for plinking for sure.
