    I have been away from loading for a couple of years and am starting back. You used to sell a lot of plated bullets for 9 and 40 that I really liked for the range. I don’t see any now?

    I agree! I started using RMR plated bullets back when they first started. I’ve shot thousands of their plated 9 mm and 45 ACP bullets and wish they would go back into the plating business again as the prices was among the best in the market. Now all I can get in plated are Berry’s and Extreem bullets and I’m not happy with the costs and shipping costs.

    The RMR jacketed bullets have proved more accurate for me than the plated bullets you mentioned. FWIW, you might try coated bullets as a less expensive alternative – look at offerings from Bayou Bullets, SNS Casting, and Blue Bullets.

    I was the same way. RMR was my go to for plated bullets in 9 mm (124 Gr) and 45 ACP (230 Gr), but after they moved, they quit making the plated and went to FMJ. I really miss their plated bullets, they were very accurate and a great price. My mail lady is happy they quit making them as they shipped via USPS. I used to leave her notes as to when I made an order so she could tell the inside people to just put them in a bin so she could dump them off into my house. Worked well for me as I am a disabled veteran and cannot lift the boxes. I would split them up to take them down to my reloading room.

    RMR has never made plated bullets. We used to contract to have them made for us, but as was mentioned earlier the prices got to be too high and there was no longer a way for us to make any money with them. In most every way our FMJ are superior to the plated and the price is now better too. We could actually do plating now if only we had the building for it. Industrial space in Idaho is outrageous right now and not worth the investment.

    Sorry for stirring such a big pot. I had been a RMR . I started to buy 9 mm plated bullets back in the 2015 -2016 time frame, or close to then. I still wear the T-Shirt that says ” I survived the gun control panic of 2013″ but I have had my wife add the year from 2020 to this year. It’s still in good shape and I figure it will be around for another 10 years or so.

    Whoever did your original plated bullets did a great job. I just recently dug out an old bag of 45 ACP in 230 Gr. Looks exactly like the XTreem or Berry’s I buy.

    I hope you find a building to expand into and go into either copper plating or polymer coatings. I do my own Polymer coatings, but would look to buy when I’m in a crunch and RMR would be my first company to look at.
