(Remington) Lonoke ammo plant in full gear, exec says

[Alton]

A failing Remington bought buy an American Company, be happy. FYI my wife's uncle just called and he was sent a bunch of Remington small rifle target primers. Not sure where these came from?

The old UMC plant off I-40 is just about across the highway from J.B. Hunt, at least it was when I worked out of Adams Field 87-92. Never could get an employee to sneak me out a few cases.

Two local dealers have/had a small amount of Remington ammunition arrive about two weeks ago. One had a very small quantity of centerfire rifle ammo, and the other still has a fairly good amount of turkey shotshell ammo.

This would seem to indicate Remington ammunition is shipping.

I generally shoot only CCI Standard Velocity in all .22 rimfire rifles and handguns. A few years ago, I tried Remington Thunderbolt in a couple of good quality, non-target, .22 rifles It wasn't CCI, but it wasn't nearly as bad from an accuracy standpoint as the easy chair critics claim. If there was any bore leading at all, it was minimal and affected nothing. If you want better ammo, spend a little more.

My LGS/indoor range has been using Remington ammo for range use only, meaning you can only buy it if you're using the range. Stacks of it sitting behind the counter. I tend to buy a box, shoot off 25 and take the other 25 home. $23/50.
