I have known many hunters that have had their favorite commercial load just simply quit shooting accurately as it always had. I'm not the only shooter that has seen favorite bullets taken off the market for seemingly no reason. Due to the unreliability of manufacturers to support themselves I opted to go with the projectiles that appeared to continue availability & then "lay in a lifetime supply" as BobinNH always said. Sometimes the manufacturers continue production but change bullet construction without notice too.

Factory Ammo, what’s that?
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

I support mee maw, even if she buys her ammo at Walmart and puts it in her store, I’m a real ‘Redneck’ Gun shows are the worst for that crap. You'll see boxes of 30-06 and 270 Corelokts sitting there that you know good and well came from Walmart or somewhere similar on clearance, marked up 200%. Friggin' pirates.

I can recommend Wingmaster version of the 870 pump shotgun. The ones with LightContour multi-choke barrels are excellent. Americans say R1911 are good, but I have no experience with those.

I'd hate it if Remington quit making rifles, but could really care less about the ammo, as everything I shoot in my hunting rifles is a handload, This is about a third of them . ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/yPkFbv6.jpg)

Isn't the ammo manufacturing still DuPont? I believe you are right. My uncle up until his death about 11 years ago, used to run the shot tower at the Lonoke, AR, ammunition factory. I personally do. It know anyone that current still works there, or I’d reach out to them and see that they have heard. I do miss my uncle buying me rifle ammo for $1 a box for 20 when he was still alive and working there.

I don't go through 100's of rounds anymore, but love Core-Lokts in my hunting rifles.

From the Wikipedia article on Remington:
All of Remington's ammunition is now made at the 35-year-old plant in Lonoke, Arkansas. This plant also is home to Remington's Industrial Products Division, and Ammunition Product Services.
If you take the time it takes, it takes less time.
