Dunno who else might be loading these so thought I'd throw this out here. Using data from Hodgdon and others for a guideline.
Got in a batch of RMR 124gr MPR Nukes to fiddle with. The Nuke is .544" long and the XTP is .573".
Had ta seat'em at 1.080 COAL to get a good plunk-n-spin in the CZ. Tested fine in several others as well.
Tried'em with some Win 231 @ 4.1 and 4.3gr in a 4.32" barrel.
The 4.1gr was @1060fps and 4.3gr was ~1100fps. All cases and primers looked GTG and velocity seems somewhat in line with data from Hodgdon for a switch.
I'm a tenth over listed max but seated out .025" more with a shorter bullet in a slightly longer barrel.
Spread was minimal. Good case fill. I don't think you could double charge and still seat a bullet.
Tried it in the P365XL. Got the same velocity and accuracy was very good.
Got a buncha plastic gallon water jugs to try them out in next week..
They've got a pretty big maw on'em. Oughtta be interesting. The last pic is of an Everglades 124gr JHP RN Version 2 for profile comparison.

I picked up some of those Nukes from RMR but have not tried them yet, I will be looking for a good hot load using BE86.
 
Just for comparison sake I tried the Everglades JHP RN Ver 2 in the same set up.
Got pretty much the same results only no jacket separation and ~.600" diameter after expansion.
The bullet retained almost all it's weight @ 123.3gr.
The RMR 124gr Nukes are $113 for 1k.
The Everglades are $149 per 1k.
Dunno that I'd prefer one or the other headed in my general direction. :eek:

Hadn't heard of these guys before, but just ordered some of these to play with. Use coupon code NEVERFORGET for 7% off order. No tax or shipping charge. If I get results on par with others here, I think this will be the start of something good.

I think you will be pleased. They are the first place I consider when looking for projectiles. I’ve used a lot of their plated bullets, and also their 9mm jacketed bullets that are made in-house.

BTW, for others, that discount code is good through the 8th.

They're good folks to deal with. But like a lot of others, the tracking sux.
It'll look like yer order is just sittin and then it's in your hands. Usually ~3 days.
Discreet packaging, a little Thank You note from one of the girls and a sticker! 😁👍
But I've got no problem with Everglades either. Just that price difference..

Tracking isn't their issue, it is USPS issue. But, yeah, Sometimes it is at your door before they update the status.
 
Great info and thanks! Have a few K of the MPR Nukes waiting on other 9mm projos to dry up in my loading room. Only loaded a handful for grins but not enough to post load info. Will get around to that eventually.

Love RMR and their products.
