Remington AccuTip Recall...

[Fletch]

Quick heads up guys if you didn't know... Remington seems to have goofed when loading several batches of 2 3/4 AccuTips, so if you've purchased any lately, check the boxes for batch numbers listed...

I have heard of guys drinking while loading and using incorrecr powder. I wonder who is getting fired there?

I stopped buying Remington ammo years ago. Those "bulk" packs of 22 rimfire were horribly unreliable. Especially, those "Golden Bullet" packs. It's one thing to be at the rifle range and have a misfire, but when you're out hunting tree rats or g-hogs and hear a CLICK on a dead round, really sucks.

I've been reloading since '77, so other than rifle or handgun ammo, rimfire and shotgun ammo is the only type that I purchase. Most of the rimfire is Hornady or CCI. The shotgun is Hornady, Kent Fast Steel and Federal or Winchester. I have yet to have any issues with those brands.

I bought Remington UMC bulk packs of .40 cal years ago. The yellow boxes. Wouldn't feed in my Glock because the transition from the case to the bullet was so horribly rough and sticking out. Garbage.
