9mm 135 Gr. RMR JHP (MPR NUKEv2)

Description

Introducing the 9mm 135 grain RMR NUKEv2.

We’re calling it the V2 because it’s slightly different than the original NUKE and it will help our packagers not mix them up with the regular Nukes.  It has the exact same profile and can be seated with the same exact setup.  However, we’ve deepened the cuts in the lead core to allow for easier expansion at lower velocities.  It is a heavier bullet so it won’t be as easy to shoot fast but deepening the cuts seems to have made it expand even a little easier than the 124.  There is a happy medium between the depth of the cuts and getting too much expansion.  Too much expansion will decrease the penetration and tear off the petals.  We think we’ve found the perfect depth because these things work great.

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 -hence the moniker “NUKE.”  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!
