They should begin putting designs on all flat points. These look great. Shipping is back to normal (for this order anyway) taking just a few days.
I haven’t loaded any yet due to primer shortage, but can’t wait to bring some smiles to the range.

The smiley face is a nice addition. As usual these bullets are excellent.

Wow. Ordered on Thursday, delivered on Monday. I love RMR. Love the bullets too. Thanks RMR.

Very nice and also very consistent bullets for my .357 magnum loading. The one thing i was concerned about when ordering was what the loaded length would be. Turns out the bullet length runs about .627 – .628 which is perfect for what i wanted. They can be loaded at 1.580 to 1.590 without getting to the taper to the flat point in .357 magnum.
Very impressed with these and would say “Buy with confidence”!

Does anyone have reloading data for this 147 grain bullet in 357 magnum? A great price on this bullet. Thank you in advance.

Curious how much H110 you’re putting behind it.

Very pleased with these bullets. Most will go in .38 Special, but I’m thinking about putting a few in the ole .357 Herrett and see how they do. Ordered on Friday, arrived on Wednesday! Your packaging department continues to amaze me. There is no way for anything to get out, period. I think you could run over it with a truck and it would still be together. Also, loved the personal thank you from Gracie! Thanks for being such a great company.

I bought these to load as Christmas presents because my peeps don’t have primers, big fun.
The lack of cannelure is a non-issue, they have a long body which seats well and stays tight.

Use 150 gr loading data and you’ll be fine

Jake thanks for taking my phone call and giving me a few tips on loading this new RMR bullet. My new 2020 4 1/2″ Python seems to like the Happy face 147 gr. bullet. I worked up a load with Accurate #7 starting with 9gr. and going up to 10.5 gr. with 10.2gr. being most accurate My starting load of 15.5gr. of W-296 also looks very promising. My testing wasn’t anything scientific just my normal standing position at 15 yards keeping all shots on a 3″ Shoot-N-C target. I was really in a hurry just wanting to get a hundred rounds down range to start breaking in a my new revolver next time out I’ll try shooting off a sandbag for accuracy. Thanks again Lew

I first made the mistake of buying the ‘seconds.’ Got about a 50% return on my investment, and some really interesting slingshot ammo. What I did find out about the Smiley’s is that you can drive them fast and hard….. as you would any FMJ and they really penetrate. The jackets are pretty thick. I put hem through four .357 barrels- 3 Smith & Wesson’s of varying lengths and one Thompson Center Fire. The Thompson, I load BRUTALLY HOT and the bullets held up well. I hunt with it a lot, so it not a target gun. I am not going to share load data…. but if you are looking for such…. for this bullet…. start with any data for the 150 grain bullet, and develop from there. Start low, and move up 1/2 grain at a time. You DO NOT NEED magnum primers for the 357; reg primers are fine. DO NOT USE rifle primers…. they may protrude from the cases as they are taller. You may find, as I did, one of my Smith’s creates 1″ groups at 30 feet at with a pretty lame load, while another, with a longer barrel, asks for almost a 1/2 grain more to do the same job!

I ordered a thousand of the 147 gr. Happy face bullets last month for my 357 mag loads. I’m using Speer 146 gr. JHP load data and I just ordered three thousand more.
Thanks for another good bullet at a great price I just ordered 3,000 more of the 147 gr. Happy Face bullets.

I ordered my first 1000 happy face 147 357 Dia. I shoot them in S&W 929, over Tightgroup. Powder start at 3.0 grains and go up to 3.6, and 9mm Revolvers are big coming in at .358 This not just one pistol I have 3 929s and two 627-5s. What I seeing is at 50yards is an occasional lost shot. I don’t get this with my own cast bullets sized .358(H&G #377).

Excellent bullets, I’m buying more! I chose these for my 200 yard revolver load and they worked excellent, very consistent!
Ryan (verified owner) –
I’ll start with the good. These bullets are stunningly accurate. As good or better than XTP in my application. I’m using them over a .38 max load of Autocomp for the wife’s informal indoor ladies combat league. This bullet/load is very clean shooting and she’s been able to dominate compact revolver class with no smoke clouds to shoot through and tidy groups center mass.
The downside is no crimp groove. I’m hesitant to run these at .357 mag speeds in a revolver, both in deference to bullet setback and the tendency of H110 to desire a firm crimp for short barrels. I tried running a mild crimp on .38s, and extremely mild was the best I could get without wrinkling cases. I did work up a few to push really fast in my Henry Single shot 20″ barrel. I find a heavy crimp to be a non factor in this rifle even with H110. They were lightning bolts! Please make up a proper big revolver bullet in a similar format. Something with a pronounced SWC cutting edge, a wide flat nose and a good, solid crimping cannelure at 158 grains or heavier. I would pay significantly more for such a bullet, and I suspect others would as well!

I’ve reloaded and shot about 1000 of these. They are very economical and way more accurate than coated bullets (2-3 MOA 5 shot groups with these vs 8 MOA with coated). Most of that was with W231 for a nice subsonic round.
I surprisingly haven’t seen from other reviews that the lack of a canelure can be best solved using Lee’s collet-style crimp die, which gives this bullet a much heavier crimp than a taper crimp and won’t bulge the case like a roll crimp. Unfortunately the collet crimp die is only for 357 cases (not for 38).
I would recommend extreme care if loading for a tube fed rifle. If your plan on relying on neck tension alone, I would not recommend doing so and to expect extreme set back in a magazine tube (don’t ask me how I know). The collet crimp mentioned above helps.
