9mm JHP Bullets

When it comes to reloading your own ammunition, few projectiles offer the balance of performance, expansion, and versatility that 9mm JHP bullets provide. At Raven Rocks Precision, we stock a wide selection of jacketed hollow point bullets specifically for reloaders and small manufacturers who demand consistency and control in every round they produce.

What is a 9mm JHP Bullet?

A 9mm JHP (Jacketed Hollow Point) bullet is designed with a hollow cavity at the tip. Upon impact, this cavity causes the bullet to expand, increasing its diameter while transferring more energy into the target. Unlike full metal jacket (FMJ) bullets, which are designed for deep penetration with limited expansion, JHPs are optimized for defensive shooting, law enforcement, and tactical training where terminal performance is critical.

This expansion reduces the risk of over-penetration, making them ideal for home defense scenarios and personal protection. Law enforcement agencies, military units, and civilians alike rely on 9mm JHP for its balance of stopping power and safety. But they aren’t limited to carry ammo; many reloaders now use JHP projectiles for training to replicate their defensive loads as closely as possible.

Why Reloaders Choose 9mm JHP Bullets

The growing cost of factory-loaded defensive ammo has pushed many serious shooters and instructors to reload their own JHP rounds. This allows for load development tailored to specific firearms, barrel lengths, and powder types. Handloaders gain more control over recoil management, accuracy, and terminal ballistics.

Buying JHP bullets in bulk also provides substantial cost savings. Supply chain disruptions and factory ammo shortages have made reliable access to high-performance projectiles more challenging. Securing components directly allows reloaders to stay consistent with their training, competition prep, or manufacturing schedules.

At Raven Rocks Precision, we don’t drop ship. Every projectile you see listed on our site is physically stocked and ready to ship from our facility.

Current Inventory: Bullet Weights and Brands in Stock

As of today, we stock 9mm JHP bullets in a variety of weights:

• 115 grain
• 124 grain
• 147 grain

We may periodically add additional weights depending on availability. For example, Dead Nuts manufactures a 100gr JHP that can technically be loaded for 9mm, although it was originally designed for .380 Auto (both cartridges use the same diameter bullet).

Brands We Carry

We currently carry 9mm JHP projectiles from the following manufacturers:

• Sierra Bullets
• SIG Sauer
• Nosler
• Norma
• Dead Nuts Ammo**
• X-Treme Bullets
• Inceptor (ARX)
• PPU (Prvi Partizan)
• CAMPRO

Please note: While all products listed are new, first-run projectiles, not all brands are sourced directly from the OEM. We work with trusted distributors to ensure availability and quality. We do not claim direct supplier status with every manufacturer.

Raven Rocks Precision is the exclusive distributor of Dead Nuts Ammo.

Whether you’re loading for range sessions, competition, personal defense practice, or manufacturing loaded ammunition for commercial resale, these brands represent some of the most reliable, high-performing projectiles in the market.

Reloading Compatibility

All 9mm JHP bullets we sell are designed for standard 9x19mm Luger platforms and work reliably across both pistols and pistol-caliber carbines (PCCs). Whether you’re running a Glock 19, SIG P320, Smith & Wesson M&P, or any number of PCC models, our JHP bullets are fully compatible.

For companies manufacturing loaded ammunition, we supply new, production-grade projectiles that meet the demands of both commercial production and individual handloaders.

Key Considerations When Buying 9mm JHP Bullets

1. Bullet Weight:
   
   • 115gr: Higher velocity, flatter trajectory, less felt recoil
   • 124gr: Balanced for both velocity and penetration
   • 147gr: Lower velocity, higher momentum, excellent for suppressor use and deeper penetration

2. Brand Reputation:
   We only stock manufacturers known for quality control and consistent performance. Sierra, Nosler, SIG Sauer, Dead Nuts, and Norma meet strict standards for jacket integrity, weight variance, and terminal ballistics.
3. Material & Jacket Design:
   Most JHP bullets we carry feature a copper jacket and lead core. Some include bonded jackets or polymer tips to improve expansion and barrier penetration.
4. Cost Per Round:
   Bulk purchasing leads to meaningful savings per round. Our packaging is designed with high-volume reloaders, instructors, and small manufacturers in mind.

Why Buy Bulk JHP Bullets Now?

According to the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), over 60 million Americans participated in target shooting in the past year. This ongoing surge has strained the availability of both factory ammunition and reloading components.

By purchasing JHP bullets in bulk directly from Raven Rocks Precision, you eliminate uncertainty around availability, pricing spikes, or long backorders common in today’s ammunition market.

We maintain real-time inventory and ship directly from our warehouse to your door. You’re not rolling the dice on whether your order will ship.

Projectiles Only: Reloading and Ammunition Manufacturing

At this time, Raven Rocks Precision specializes in supplying projectiles only. We do not currently sell loaded handgun ammunition. All bullets are brand new, first-run projectiles suitable for both personal reloading and commercial ammunition manufacturing.
