Name that bullet
I got a bunch of these from an estate sale in a plastic bag with no id of any kind. 9mm, obviously hollow point, 115 grains. They shoot great out of my M&P9 an I would love to know where I can get more. Any ideas?

Looks like some old Speer 9's I loaded in the late 70's/early 80's. Ivan

I agree, They look to be Speer 115 GR JHP.

IMO they look more like the Remington JHP bullets which are still available today but they could be the older Speer design bullets too.

In the 70's and early 80's Sierra sold a 115 gr jacketed hollow point that was solid around the upper rim with no splits for expansion and then changed the design and added the splits or breaks at the top so the bullet would expand better. I have some of both designs and the box is marked Sierra 8110, 115 gr. JHP. These bullets you have look just like the ones I have but then who knows.
The SHADOW knows.

As someone that worked at Sierra in the 70's and 80's, I can tell you for sure that the bullet in the picture is nothing that we ever produced.
