ParticipantThis bullet is impressive! My Granddaughter and I shot them at 300 yards last night, 20 rounds rapid fire on an SR3 target, 200-7X and 198-7X, and 20 rounds each on the MR63 target for 600 yards simulated, 198-10X and 200-9X. Great job engineering this new offering!
For those not familiar with this competitive shooting, a 200 is maximum possible for 20 shots (10 points each) and the X is a smaller ring inside the 10 ring to break ties. On the MR-63 target, the 10 ring is 5.85 inches, and the X ring is 2.85 inches. These shots were taken prone with a sling, no bipods, sandbags, or rests.
This will become my go-to bullet for all short range shooting, 200 and 300 yards!August 28, 2022 at 10:25 pm #449476ftnspace
ParticipantFeedback for RMR:
75 gr RMR 3GH LOT 2
Weights 74.9 gr +/- 0.1 gr (about 15% are 74.8 gr and 2% 75.0 gr, with remaining 74.9 gr and 1 of 500 at 75.1 gr. (Sample size 500)
I did not bother keeping these weight sorted for my habdloads, because I intend to bulk load these on a progressive press and have no intention of weight sorting future purchases, so long as the lots remain this consistent.
I found a nice accuracy and velocity node.
16″ 1:7 twist medium contour barrel AR-15, 5.56x45mm NATO chamber, suppressed
Load: (work up, be safe, etc.)
LC 09 brass (1x fired, FL size, chamfer, debur, flash hole uniform; no annealing)
CCI No. 41 primer
23.8 gr Ramshot TAC
2.255″ COAL (PMAG Gen M2/M3 magazine length)
RMR 75 gr 3GH LOT 2
10 rd Avg Vel. 2,610 fps (LabRadar)
ES 32 fps (on progressive press)
8 shot group 0.33 MOA (actual MOA, not iphy)Slightly flatter shooting than expected.
Performed well in 5-10 mph winds out to 700 yards, although my red dot limits me to 450-500 yards for reliable unsupported hits.
Oddly enough, this load performed poorly unsupressed from a WarComp CTN; there must be a harmonic that works in my favor with the can on.
When I shoot again, I plan to gather detailed elevation information holds on paper, rather than steel)l at various distances (as well as the detailed LabRadar step trace data). That should be good enough to derive a rough estimate of the G7 coefficient for the given surface weather.
More to come, but I will be buying more of these regardless.

ParticipantI have a question about these bullets.
Will they expand or act like a FMJ?
I ask for hunting purposes.
Has there been any ballistic gel tests?
Appreciate any information on this. -
