Remington ammo

Remington ammo has sucked for 30 years... Buy better for your guns. At minimum for hunting, buy Hornady or Winchester, and if for target Hornady or Federal Gold Medal Match. If you don't mind spending more, get some Berger or Lapua factory ammo. I would say Prime, they always had great reviews and big cult following, but I don't think they're in business anymore...I haven't heard them mentioned in a long time.
I agree with fuhQ I now buy mostly hornady but have found my bergaras also like sierra prairie enemy in 243 cal
Forgot all about Prime. Only 308 in stock, and social media is dead. Crazy. But yes, never buy Remington.
Years ago, I used Rem. Corelokt for my hunting, and took some Elk with it. One time, I had an Elk in my sights, pulled the trigger, and same as you, only got a click. Elk ran off. Went back to the range with the same box, and discovered more misfires, about six in the box. This was factory ammo. I have not used it since that day.
Well I have a few rounds of remington left to shoot at cans and there will never be another remington box in my ammo locker glad to know I'm not the only one to have issues with them. My biggest issue is low quality product at premium prices
I don't use their primers, brass, or bullets either... Anything Remington and ammo related is a no-go for me. Federal brass sucks, too.
Maybe that explains things? GunBroker that is.
Honestly I have never had a problem with any Rem ammunition starting with ‘Jet’ for a handgun to 7mm=08 for deer and bear to 168gr Match for Competition.
Shot thousands of rounds of Rem shotgun and finally about a month ago I had one shell that fired, wad and shot gone and not in barrel but obviously no powder.

I’ve had zero issues or found any flaws whatsoever in the 2500 or so rounds of 220gr 300BO subs from them.
And that’s with every single round shot from an 8.5” PSA upper.
Good for you, but it's still bottom of the barrel ammo choices for anyone who's not a Fudd. Most people won't even buy Remington primers because they have more duds than anyone else. I have never once had an issue with a CCI or Federal primer. You hear about and read about people with Remington primer issues all the time. Their brass isn't weight-sorted at all, and it's extremely inconsistent, and their bullets are basic old outdated SP cup & core fare. And now days they charge premium prices for bottom-shelf ammo.
for decades, the only game in town for factory 250 Savage ammo. never had a problem with it, killed tons of deer, hogs and coyotes. used it culling deer working for big ranches.
only beef ive ever had with Remington ammo is their rimfire. Rem Golden Bullet is pure trash. id rather use a slingshot

Literally, the furthest thing from it...I'm one of the most anti-vax & anti-gov people you'll meet. But nice attempt at a comeback. You sound like you still thinks QANON is real, and that Trump was just playing 5D chess.
