Thanks for the report… I have a ” XD sub compact that I hadn’t gotten to testing with the 5.4gr. loading so that gives me a idea of about where it would be. Appreciated.

I have been trying to talk RMR into getting a denim / gel test done or a volunteer but so far, no luck. Reportedly good expansion in bare gel, but a little testing with materials in front of the gel is really needed. If this bullet proves out with the denim and gel tests, then they really have something which will expand their market for this bullet, but until then… maybe relegate it to summer use only until further testing if it’s the characteristic expansion and penetration wanted. It does need to be done in any case. Again, thanks for the update. if you do test the 5.2gr load level, let me know the results if you would.
Thanks.

My standard load for 69gr. is 24.6 to 25 grains of TAC, Rem 7 1/2 primer, lake city cases… It is my across my various AR’s standard load. Shoots sub half in some guns, (gas guns) . Used this combination for a number of years…it’s very good. My preferred.

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.

mdi255 That’s interesting…I didn’t know Nosler listed data for RMR bullets… Unless you mean that you interpolate loads based on similar book (Nosler) data which means….it isn’t book data for loading the RMR bullets… If you have data from Noslers book for the RMR bullets we would appreciate knowing that . Actually, I am probably at least as cautious in developing loads myself so for the RMR bullets, it’s hard to come up with a exact match…but I am working on it 🙂
