I'm looking at a bulk purchase of 9mm HPs for training use only - these are pulled projectiles.

Here's a pic from the seller's website - no data on brand, so I'm hoping the hive can help me ID them.  All are listed as 124 grains.

(Before we get to the pic, I'm aware that these aren't perfect and will not be 100% copies of factory self-defense ammunition. I simply want to get close and be able to use HP SD-like loads for training)

Can I get an assist?

Hornady XTP...... Remington(?)......RMR NUKE (?)

The one in the middle has an odd color and I cannot remember where I've seen it before.  It is familiar to me.  It could be Remington, Speer or ...?

For training, it would be good to know the bullet profiles fit and feed reliably.  The jackets look pretty rough, which may or may not hurt accuracy.

Do they at least all weigh the same?  I don't do pulls or mixed lots as I have better things to do with my time.

If they all weigh the same, I'd just load them up over a less than max charge that would cycle the gun.  Do not expect much for accuracy, but if accuracy doesn't matter, send 'em!

If they don't all weigh the same, have fun sorting.

All images of the HST bullets show creases in the jacket.  The OP's image does not have that.

The old Speer "flying ashtrays" had a really wide opening but no creases in the jackets.

Federal HST below, as shown by Lucky Gunner (a favorite of mine).

Thanks to all for your assistance.

I was curious about the RMR Nuke and it appears they can be had for just few more cents/projo than the "unknowns" in my OP.

I'll likely go with RMR and save the guesswork/hassle.

I like and have shot a lot of RMR bullets, including the Nuke.  Only negative on them is they have to be loaded pretty short to function in some guns.  I usually go with 1.060" and I still sometimes have issues  in my Colt 1911 and Kimber KDS9c.

L to R: XTP, V-Crown, Federal Hi Shok (most likely).

BTW, those pulls are just fine to use for SD.  I carry them every day.

You will not regret that decision.  The RMR bullets are really good and considering the price they make it up to great.
