Who makes this bullet?

Zero, precision delta, or hornady. I’m a 115gr guy so couldn’t say for certain but I’d guess Roze distribution is who should google if you want some. Or precision delta.... hornady is way to proud of their Bullets if you shoot many at all.

I'm 99.9% sure It's the bullet Everglades sales as their "competition style" 125gr.  

The base is what we call a stepped base. It is not a two piece jacket.  PD also uses this style base punch. 

 

PD produced a bullet almost identical to this for a short time earlier this year, and there are some out there in the wild. However, it has since been re-designed and will be available soon.

Everglades has declined to identify who makes some of the bullets they sell. I asked specifically about their 9mm 147 JHP, which looks identical to the Zero bullet. They replied that they do not release manufacturer information on unbranded bullets. The OP's pictures look exactly like Zero's bullets. If they're not made by Zero, then someone is making bullets that look like Zeros.

Looked at the everglades and it does have the impression in the bottom. Guessing it is when it is sized and the jacket is smashed on and pressed out or in the mold.

 

For the most part. 

The "base punch" is ground with a step on it. When the punch forces the bullet into the forming die, the profile ground on the punch gets transferred to the base of the bullet.

It sure looks like the Everglades bullet.  The picture on the Rose Distributing site of the Zero bullet looks like the front of the bullet is more rounded and has skives around the hollow point.

Will it be priced the same as the 124 Jhp .

Zero makes 2 different 9mm JHP bullets.

 

One is a RN-HP and has skives.

The other is a conical shape with no skives.

The bullets in your first post are like Zero's conical with no skives.  I have several thousand of both types within inches of where i'm sitting right now. 

 

Here is a picture of my Zero 125 JHP-conical bullets:
