They say most rifles prefer one brand over another. However, I' ve had lots of bad luck with Remington cheap ammo. Don' t get me wrong, I am an avid Rem. fan, just their green box ammo has never performed well for me or any of my friends. We all use the Federal Premium ammo, seems to be the most accurate of any of the stuff we' ve tried. Since I handload I roll my own but even then I get better accuracy with the Federal brass than the Rem. brass I have.
