9MM 124 GR. RMR JHP (MPR NUKE) with Ram Shot Silouette:

This is the forum thread that this issue started in:
HOLLOW POINTS NOT FEEDING IN G26’S BUT FEEDING IN G17’S

Hollow points not feeding in G26’s but feeding in G17’s

It was somewhat surprising, to me at least, that I was having feed issues in a Glock. I thought that they ate anything!

I was running this bullet with 5gns silouette and an OAL of 1.155″.
Lee lists the min OAL for jacketed 124gn cartridges at 1.145.
BUT…..
With the same powder and 5gn load load they list MUCH shorter OAL’s for plated and lead. Around 1.060″.
I am going to see if I can get this bullet to work in my G26’s with shorter OALs that don’t develop signs of over pressure
and will report back here.

Maybe this will help…feeds well Sigs (various), Springfield XD, no flattened primers… Very similar to max Silhouette listed as noted : Tested the new : Nuke 124gr. JHP with 5.4gr. of Ramshot Silhouette, Winchester sp primers, Winchester cases, cartridge oal: 1.065 Chrono data yielded average velocity of 1118 with Extreme spread of 17 and standard deviation of 7 from a Sig 320 5″ barrel. Good accuracy with no unburnt powder. This load is listed as a non +p but max saami working 9mm load, with the Hornady XTP 124gr. bullet. Velocity is similar though just slightly lower substituting the Hornady 124gr. XTP bullet. Accuracy of the RMR Nuke JHP 124gr. is very good with this load.

Thanks for the info.
I stand corrected these are NOT the Nukes.
They are: 9mm 124 Gr. RMR Jacketed Hollow Point (Multi Purpose Round) Bullets

I went down to 1.050″ and am still having issues with the 124g MPR in my Glock 26!
I am starting a new thread since I can not edit the title of this post to correct the mistake1
