Details
Manufactured by the legendary Remington Arms Company, this product is brand new, brass-cased, boxer-primed, non-corrosive, and reloadable. It is a staple range and target practice ammunition used by many law enforcement agencies and avid shooters.
Note: Remington's bullet type designation "metal case" or "metallic cartridge" is essentially the equivalent of full metal jacket.
Video Transcript:
The Union Metallic Cartridge Company, or UMC, was founded in 1867, and was acquired by Remington 1912. UMC's current production plant is in Lonoke, Arkansas, and was built in 1970 when DuPont owned Remington. The Remington UMC ammo I test was their 55 grain metal case load. Metal case is another way of saying full metal jacket. This ammo features a copper jacket and a lead core which will not attract a magnet and is acceptable at any range that allows centerfire rifles.
It is loaded with a brass case and a non-corrosive boxer primer. The case is reloadable, and Remington makes great brass for reloading.
This ammo functioned perfectly in all of the test rifles. Recoil was manageable, which came in handy for rapid fire shooting. I also chronographed it in several different rifles, and it was loaded to proper velocities for a 55 grain 223 Remington. At 50 yards from the bench, accuracy was quite good as you can see from this ten shot group.
This Remington UMC ammo is a good example of how quality American manufacturing still exists. It's a great choice for any range or training use.

I ordered a case to test. It was delivered within 3 days after ordering. Sighted in my new 3x9 scope using a 20 round box of Remington ammo. Group was about 2 inches at 120 yds. The ammo worked quite well in my rifle. I have ordered a few thousand additional rounds for practice this summer. (Posted on 5/17/11)Performance Value Quality - Good Pricing Review by Indi
