FAQ
What happened to Remington?
Remington filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2020 and was broken up. The ammunition division was acquired by Vista Outdoor (which also owns Federal, CCI, and Speer). Production continues at the Lonoke, Arkansas facility, and the brand has seen renewed investment and product development under its new ownership.
What is Remington Core-Lokt?
Core-Lokt is Remington's flagship hunting bullet, introduced in 1939. The controlled-expansion design mechanically locks the copper jacket to the lead core, preventing separation on impact. It has been America's best-selling hunting ammunition for decades and has taken more game worldwide than any other bullet design.
Is Remington UMC good for range use?
Yes. UMC (Union Metallic Cartridge) is Remington's value range ammunition line, offering brass-cased FMJ loads at competitive prices. The brass is reloadable and quality is consistent. UMC is one of the most popular training ammunition choices at ranges across America.
