Any data from JRP 25-gr. bullets yet? (You out there DennisF?)
I called the maker of JRP bullets, and while he was friendly, he didn't give me much useful information, as he said he didn't know the BC of his bullets. I tried e-mailing the author of the article in RifleShooter who tested the JRP bullets in the Hornet, but my e-mail was refused because they don't take personal e-mail at their magazine address, which was the only one I had. A gentleman named DennisF had said he had 200 of these bullets, and I was just wondering if you had a chance to test these out yet. Thanks for any info.

DennisFSorry I haven't had a chance to shoot any of them yet, I've been moving and in the process of getting a divorce after 29 years and things have been kind of hectic. I have some loaded up and I hope to get to shoot them this weekend. I will let you know what I find out. I also ordered the reloading manual that JRP sells and even though the article stated 3,900+ for the hornet, the fastest load that the manual shows is 3,500 fps. I was not very impressed with the "looks" of the bullets when I opened them up, many of them had dents and dimples in the jackets, I don't know whether this was a result of the Moly coating process or just what. I don't know how much this will affect the accuracy, but I am going to find out this weekend. I will keep you posted.
Dennis
