Indeed, the TJ Conovera 124 Gr. JHP looks very, very similar to the former contracted RMR 124 Gr. JHP. Since they are .356" diameter bullets, I may have try some for my .38 Super Auto loads (normally use the Hornady HAP bullet).

57K, indeed the subcontracted (supposedly Montana Gold) is a very accurate bullet, but reaching the superb reputation of the Nosler bullet would be too much to ask for at this price point. That being said, very few shooters can reach the accuracy potential of a Nosler handgun bullet.

57K, we appreciate the comparison of the two RMR 124 JHP bullets (subcontracted vs. in-house). I believe that I was about a week ahead of you on my order, and fortunately for me, I received a batch from the subcontractor, which I have really enjoyed shooting in my 9mms, and one of my Redding dies is setup for this bullet. My other dies are setup for the Nosler 124 JHP and the Hornady 124 XTP. Using these three dies allows me to quickly load the bullet that I want to shoot. Be that as it may, I will be interested in your next review/update on the in-house RMR 124 JHP bullet.

I am using the RMR 124 Gr, JHP too. Great bullet.

I shoot the Nosler 124 Gr. JHP over 5.3 Gr. True Blue at 1.122" OACL, and I can attest to its accuracy through several of my 9mm handguns.

3djedi, yes bullet profile is very important, and the plunk test is a very useful "tool".

Personally, I have never known 57K to lie.

Frieday, speaking of the Dan Wesson PM9, I have one that I purchased many years ago, and it will out shoot all my other 9mm 1911s and 2011s with exception of my Guncrafter No Name Commander. The former is an absolute gem, but the later is freakishly accurate!

S&B is sometimes said to have "tight" primer pockets, but I have not had any problems yet. Too bad all brass is not as good as Starline.

sfinney, I agree. My twenty year old Glock 26's Tenifier finish still looks great. Awesome stuff!

Good to know about CBC's 9mm Luger brass. However, I have not experienced any problem with their .45 ACP brass. I know that the CBC Group encompasses CBC, Magtech, MEN, and Sellier & Bellot. The later, S&B, is some of the best factory brass--in my opinion.

57K, I have heard of Texas Armament, and they do have a good reputation. Just like painting a car, metal preparation is critical.

I believe that the Q5s have "short" chambers. I shot one the other day, and I recall that the brass appeared to reflect just that point. Be that as it may, I was amazed at how the Q5 shot and the exceptionally smooth trigger.

Yes, you are correct. They just don't know what their missing either.
