New in 2011 is Remington's latest introduction featuring Nickel plated UMC pistol ammunition. Nickel Plated casings are typically only found in high-end defense ammunition as it results in smoother feeding and cycling of a weapon. Now, nickel-plated cases are economically available from Remington for range use. This line of ammo also features Kleanbore® primers resulting in a clean reliable burn time after time.
Manufactured by the legendary Remington Arms Company, this product is brand new, nickel-plated 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.
In 1816 Eliphalet Remington produced his own rifle in his smithing shop which was superior to commercially available rifles of the day. Ever since then, Remington has been leading the charge in technological innovation bringing superior products to the market.
Note: Remington's bullet type designation "metal case" is essentially the equivalent of full metal jacket.

Video Transcript:
UMC stands for Union Metallic Cartridge Company, which was acquired by Remington back in 1912. Today Remington uses the UMC name for their less expensive line of range ammo. Just released in 2012, we now have the new UMC Target line.
The shell casings for UMC ammo are reloadable nickel plated brass, which is what you typically only find in high end self defense ammo. The nickel plating feeds a little better than normal brass for enhanced reliability. UMC Target also makes use of clean bore primers which are supposed to aid in reliable ignition of each round.
We tested a couple of boxes of UMC Target in nine millimeter with a 115 grain metal case bullet. Metal case is what Remington calls full metal jacket, so it's just a normal lead bullet with a copper jacket. As expected, the ammo ran great in all of our test guns without a single hiccup.
Accuracy was pretty good, shooting from the bench at 15 yards. We got very similar accuracy results to the normal Remington UMC, which we've previously shot, which isn't bad. It just looks like all the enhancements with this ammo are related to reliability rather than accuracy.
So Remington's definition of target ammo is not to be confused with super accurate precision ammo. With its enhance reliability and decent accuracy, I think Remington UMC Target makes a great range ammo, and may be good for use in some types of competition, like the action shooting sports.

- Favorite practice ammunition Review by labillyboy

Since I began using these a year ago, the Remington UMC Nickel Plated family has become my exclusive range ammo for all my guns. I shoot this in 9mm, .45 ACP and .40 S&W. Best stuff out there for automatics. Remington has a really great product here, waiting for other ammunition manufacturers to come up with a similarly priced nickel plated brass product. Until then, this is all I will shoot. (Posted on 12/18/12)Performance Value Quality - Very good value Review by rocquenroll

The nickel cases make it easier to spot when picking up brass at a match; it has functioned flawlessly in every gun I've fired it from; it's priced very well, just a slight increase over import brass-cased ammo; it's feet per second of 1145 makes a Power Factor of 132 for USPSA matches, safely over the 125 minimum, but not too far over making it "soft shooting". Very good match ammo; accuracy has been excellent as well. (Posted on 11/15/12)Performance Value Quality - Fast delivery Review by WW

I have found this ammo to work flawless in all my 9mm handguns from WWII German Lugers, P38's, Beretta M9's, CZ 75, SIG 226 and my 9mm AR15 Carbine. I have fired over 10,000 of this ammo with no FTF ever!!!Performance Value Quality

I just love the clean look of these nickel plated cases... look like the Golden Saber HP's that I load for SD. These rounds functioned flawlessly in my Sig 226, zero problems. Good accuracy.

Buying good ammo in bulk is the only way to make shooting affordable. This was a great deal. (Posted on 3/25/12)Value Quality Performance - Have some fun TODAY! Review by RockmanDan

I have never ordered ammo in bulk before. Was this a mistake? NO! Because I had more fun shooting my 9mm semiauto and not have to be worried about having any left for self defense. My sons also had a great time. This is great ammo and I will be placing another order soon.

First time purchasing ammo over the internet. Luckygunner was fast and courteous. Ammo is as advertised and of course feeds perfectly in my glock 19. Will def. buy from lucky gunner again. Coming from the comunist state of NJ, it is actually easier and cheaper to order online and pay for shipping than it is to drive to my local Gun Store or Dicks.

For the price these rounds are great quality. I heard horror stories after I purchased them but when I sent them down range there wasn't a single jam, mis-fire or nothing. I was happy all around. They are however, a little dirtier than other ammunition but a few extra minutes was nothing to worry about. (Posted on 3/6/11)Performance Value Quality - Great ammo cheap price Review by Donnie p

Order came fast ammo was cheap and you can't beat the quality. Shot over 100 rounds in a glock 26 and 17 with not one misfire or failer. Will be ordering more. (Posted on 3/5/11)Performance Value Quality - A round that Does the Job. Review by Blondebear

HardWired56 said: "Every order I place gets here in 3 days-the shipping is fast and cheap and the online availability of inventory is the best. I have bought the Lake City reman .45acp and .380-super happy with both rounds. Ok, then I buy several different types of .223/5.56 just to see how they shoot-all were as expected and good stuff. Finally I had to buy more .22longs. Got Federal, Federal Champions and Winchester. I bought 3 bricks of ammo for what I would pay for 2 around here (not counting wasted gas and time). I will order again - Great work folks!"
Masharpe1 said: "What a great experience! Everything you could possibly want at great prices! I did a lot of looking around and this is by far the most user friendly website out there for your ammo needs. Inventory is "real time" so there's no guesswork as to when it will ship. Shipping is fast and the more you buy, the better the overall value! It's a better deal than those "box stores" like Academy, Wal-Mart or Bass Pro AND they have it in stock! I am very happy to have found Lucky Gunner and will continue to tell everyone about it. These guys obviously take pride in what they do and THIS is what customer service should be like. Others could learn something from their model. Thanks again."
