remington premere ammo.
 

I havent heard of many people on this fourum using remmingtons premire ammo. such as partitions,safari grade, etc. Only the core lockts. Whats the deal with them?

Depends on your application really. A-Frames are excellent for larger game in penetrations and damage but might not expand like you would want on deer or smaller game. Partitions work good on game far out in moderate energy but will fall apart on game close up and high velocities. Corelokts are good on deer size game at 100 or so yards but accuacy in all my guns was not was I was looking for. I emphasize my guns and what I was looking for.

any other comments

I have used partitions on elk moose deer and bear and have never seen one fail at any velocity.I have killed elk and moose with 140 gr partitions at 3500 fps out of my 7mmstw and they exited in all but one case where about 60% of the bullets weight was retained on a lengthwise shot on an elk.Accuracy has only been in the 1-1/2" range which is not up to my standards but they have never come apart even at high velocity and close range.

I have only used the rem premire 180-gr partitions in my 300 rum. At $42.00 a box factory, I think I will continue to reload my own. So many other great bullets out their.

I don't use the Remington Fodder for I find it is inconsistent from box to box. Not what I'm looking for out of a "top of the line" offering in factory ammo.
I stick to the Federal or Hornady offerings and have no problem with the qaulity control with those two makers, I can't say the same for Remington.

I haven't bought a factory loaded centerfire cartridge in 30 years!!!!! If I want premium ammo.....I make it myself!!!!!....Learn reloading....it's a great hobby!!

most of the ammo i see in stores that are remington are just core-lokt's. i always wanted to try the bronze tips but never could find them.

I tried the 30/06 180grain swift sciroccos this year they grouped good at the range and did there job in the woods the doe I shot didn't go 15 yards

bear72..

any any chance do you remmber how much the sciroco's cost you?

I use the remington premiere's in 22 mag, that's all.

I don't trust remington ammo. I've had core-locts not expand and so have my friends and father. Any factory that will put junk like that out I don't want to have anything to do with. I think someone hit the nail on the head when they said they were inconsistant from box to box. Now when the ammo works as it is suppose to they work great. I stick to winchester and federal.

Quilly-- I think they were $22.95

RE: remington premere ammo.
 

quilly, i have bought the core lock ammo for 22.50 per box at my local store, and the scirroco for 33.00 per box in 300rum and 26.00 in the 7mm mag.
as for the core lock performance, it did not shoot the groups that i would have liked them to shoot, about 1.25 inch, they performed flawlessly on all of the deer i have shot, and many of them past 300 yards. i shoot the 140 grain in a 7mm mag sendero, i am quite satisfied.
in the upcoming year i will be loading 140gr nosler ballistic tips, they shoot very well, about .500 at 100 yards, which is acceptable.
