Oh snap! :eek:
Thanks for the info!!! They’re $.01 more expensive each than the 69s in quantities of 1000.
I really need to find some powder and primers.
I didn’t buy any yet. I just can’t take another load test/development. We’re so happy with those 69gr bullets, it’s crazy. I shot them out to 750 with the ACOG yesterday.
I am also going to wait awhile on the 75’s. I just went through a pull my hair out load development with a stubborn barrel. Just put together another upper with a Bartlien barrel by compass lake barrel and put 29 rounds down it today. 3 shots with cleaning in between shots to get a 50 yard zero, then out to 100 yds. Groups were great even with the cleaning every few shots. I will save the rest of the story for another thread.
Me three. I still have a 1,000+ or so Hornady 68 grain HPBT w/cannalure and 700 or so Nosler 77 grain CC with cannalure that I have to use up first. And I have less than 1200 450 CCI primers left and only about 8 lbs of TAC. Need more primers right now than I need bullets, and a fixed income only goes so far.
We have 8 bazillion of the 69’s in stock, that being said…Lets see how long the 75’s can sit in Marks manufacturing without him dumping some powder underneath these bad boys to test.
Give it two weeks max!! Range report to follow :dance3:

I can’t NOT load something. It would keep me up at night.
Looks like a copy of the PPU 75gr bullets that Wideners had a while back. Anyone mind doing a water jug test to see if it performs the same?
Hope they don’t shoot like the PPU 69gr. Certified 2.5 MOA bullet [emoji123]

My guess is that they’ll fly as well as the 69s. I bought 500 of them to try out.
We will jug these bullets to get some idea how they perform. I am pumped they started making some heavies. I am a big fan of RMR, good stuff.

I happen to have a bunch of primed Norma brass that will be perfect for testing these bullets. We should be running them next weekend.
As much as you guys talk about how great these RMR bullets are it makes me want to sell my stock pile of Matchking 77’s and Hornady 75’s. Got roughly 3000 75’s and 2000 77’s yet plus a boat load of 55’s and get some of these 69’s or the 75’s.
Nobody’s Beta tested these out yet, outside of RMR. So don’t be throwing your 77’s & 75’s over the gunnel’s quite yet. Let it payout a bit.
Currently Hornady 75’s with cannelure are selling for around $.20 cents a pop
Sierra’s w/cannelure for around $.39 cents each and around $.30 wo/cannelure
RMR’s all cannelure free sell from around $.15 to $.16 cents each, depending on whether your buying for your self only or outfitting the mongolian horde.
Local store had 500 packs of 77 Sierra for $100. I bought 7K of them. Still had about 15 boxes left. Otherwise I would have got some of these to test. I am set for awhile.
I haven’t even loaded 77s in quite some time. No real need. I was messing with those 85 gr match burners, but I got tired of them. Full price bullet that wasn’t that exciting. I load about 100 69s every week for that weekend’s shoot.
Yeah. Never sell bullets.
I may shoot these head to head against Hornady 75gr Match bullets. I have plenty of same flavor brass, so if they arrive this week we’ll try them out.
The bullets have landed. We’ve shot a few thousand of the 69s. I’m not sure these could shoot any better, but they might have a further reach.
The 69s track great with the ACOG on a 14.5 until you hit 600 yards… at that range you have to favor low… at the base of the target to hit center. (a high class problem)
