RMR 9mm JHP MPR-Nuke

[double-d]

I did a quick forum search & didn't see them discussed.  Has anyone here loaded w/ them yet?


From an email received today:

We have been wanting to make a really good self defense HP for a while now.  In the past our biggest issue with the MPR (Multi Purpose Round) was that it required 1150-1200 fps to reliably expand.  This was doable through full size firearms, but left the short barrel conceal carry guns without much hope of success.  So, we went full out and redesigned our bullet.  We pre-cut the lead core so that it will easily open upon impact.  Our NUKE is unique in that we gave it three internal petals and six external jacket cuts.  The result in ballistics gel is pretty impressive.  At 1100 FPS we’re getting about 14? of penetration with a diameter of about .630? in total expansion.  At 1000 fps we are getting 16-17? of penetration with a diameter of about .590? in total expansion.  Our three petal design leaves the expanded bullet with a very distinct design that kind of resembles the international symbol for radiation.  We’ve been testing it for a while now and we’re pretty confident that it is THE bullet for short or long barreled self defense loads.  Whether you’re shooting for practice, competition, or self-defense, make sure you’re always hitting with a NUKE!

In the pictures above you can see a visual comparison with the new nuke and the original MPR.  The nuke is on the left in the picture above.  The meplat is only a tiny bit bigger, but the taper into the HP cavity is considerably improved.  We wanted to get the lead away from the tip for those customers who had complained about the lead causing hangups in feeding for some of your guns.  This will also help with some of the discoloration that can happen during shipment.  Sometimes the post office puts our packages through a tumbler and the lead exposed tips can rub on each other and cause the jackets to look leaded and dirty.  Hopefully this will solve that issue.  These are available in both 124 and 115 grains and will replace the original MPR.  This new MPR(NUKE) is being made on a newer machine with a completely different tooling setup so we are currently working with the old machine to make a 135 grain MPR.  We aren't sure if we can make a 147 on that machine though.  Here's the links to the 124 and 115 for now.

Looks like very good performance!    Looking forward to hearing about their 135 grain version.

I just received an email in regards to these bullets this week. I think they are pretty New! I have shot bunches of their original In House JHP and they shoot great. I will be giving these a try soon!

They are brand new so I doubt many have experience with these yet.  I shoot the MPR now and I am sure these will perform well. Only (big) drawback is they are more expensive. I am perfectly happy using the old MPR's for competition so now I will have to pay more for the same performance.

Interesting. I have a Kimber that does not like to feed bullets with wide frontal openings. If I loaded my own SD ammo, this might be something to try in it.
