The time and hassle arn't worth it for me when the best JHP's that money can buy are under 10 CPR. Even if it was an absolute breeze, took no time, and I was somehow gifted the expertise and capability to cast projectiles that consistently perform as good as top tier manufacturer's from day 1, I'm simply not interested in shooting exposed-lead or coated bullets through a compensated gun at major pf.

That's pretty awesome, I'm sure the $$$ savings certainly are. I'm new to reloading & recreational shooting in general, so it is just a personal preference of mine to go with the cookie-cutter, tried and true combination of JHP + slow powder in order to minimize the amount of grief I give myself while going through the learning curve of reloading and tuning a load to fit my gun.

You’re not wrong. I’ve tried several bullets for 9MAJOR. Technically they’ll all work but nothing performed better, kept the smoke down, and kept the comp clean Like true JHP’s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamber Posted October 19, 2020 Author Share Posted October 19, 2020 (edited) Montana Gold restocked 124gr JHP's, 124gr CMJ's, and 147gr CMJ's at 5:34pm EST this afternoon (10/19). Both CMJ's are still currently in stock as of this post. I managed to grab 3x cases of the 124gr JHP's, looks like they completely sold out within 4 minutes of being listed. I'm debating grabbing a whole lot more next time around just to be set and done for the next few years... also have a feeling that the Precision Delta 124gr JHP's are never coming back down to the 8.6 CPR pricepoint, making them not worth waiting around for as long as MG's are available. Edit: Grabbed an additional 2x cases today (10/20). Restock was at 5:20 EST and consisted of 124gr JHP's, 124gr CMJ's, and 147gr CMJ's once again.

ImpactDoc Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Bummer I spent three days in a row trying to grab CMJ at Montana Gold started refreshing every minute at 2pm pacific time until 3pm, no luck... does any one with experience buying from them know if they release closer to 1:30-2pm pacific time?

Thx in advance! Damn, sorry to hear that. The two times I've managed to grab a few cases, they've all been within the 2:00pm - 3:00pm window. @SeattleDude did say that one of the restocks he caught was at 1:21pm, so it looks like you'll just have to widen the timeframe you're monitoring the site if you want to be sure to catch it. @ImpactDoc PD 124gr 9mm JHP's just restocked and still currently available: Edited November 20, 2020 by kamber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImpactDoc Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 @kamber oh sweet thx for that info! Yeah I'm going to hop on at 1:15pm this week and try to catch CMJ. I was able to snag JHPs on Monday around 2:26pm they released it. Anyways appreciate the tip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamber Posted November 22, 2020 Author Share Posted November 22, 2020 Should be able to snag some—CMJ is much easier to get a hold of than JHP due to the demand being significantly less. I've seen CMJ stay in stock for a few hours while JHP never lasted more than 10 minutes when I caught 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man I hope this is the case, I bought a decent amount of JHPs only to realize that after reading tons of forum posts on CZ shadow barrels your better of throating out or using FMJ/CMJ bullets instead of JHPs b/c of feeding issues in the CZ series with the JHP MGs when seating too deeply just to be able to load off the lands. I'm poaching today....I hope I get lucky snagging MG CMJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImpactDoc Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 (edited) Refreshed from 12:45pm to 4:05pm pacific time, nothing until 4:05pm 115 and 124 JHPs are up and available on Montana gold's website! Go Go Go! NO CMjs though. It seems like they are varying release times...maybe to give everyone a chance to offset the traditional around 2pm pacific time release.

ImpactDoc Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 This must be some kind of record they ran out of 115s just now, but the 124s are still in stock for a whole 14 min. Yesterday the 124s were gone in 2min...not a joke 2 min! This makes 2 days in a row now where MG released after 4pm.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrishoesel Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Yeah Montana Gold seems to be the best deal going right now. I snagged a case of 124 JHP last week. Free shipping and 9.6 cents a round can't be beat for what looks to be an amazing bullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ML123 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 RMR Bullets has 124g JHP @ 10.2 cents a bullets shipped. I was able to order 1k on 11-22 they show out of stock but you place a BO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
