You may have heard the old 45 Gov’t “kills on both ends.”  There’s a third end, these days: the checkout register. 

If I am not mistaken, Remington Ammunition and Federal Cartridge now have a common parent, Big Green’s ammunition operation having been severed and sold out of bankruptcy.  

It may be industry malarkey but I’ve heard the two brands do not intend to compete. Supposedly, Federal will make the high end wonder projectile Safari Grade stuff and Remington will supply Bubba with his “deer bullets.” 

When Bubba gets a load of current deer bullet pricing, e.g. THREE AND A HALF DOLLARS for a single round of 45/70 Core-Lokt, the effluent will hit the impeller.

Ouch! For the record the Core-Lokt is a good bullet, just not as sexy as some of the trendy stuff. I’ve bought a few boxes just like that one for the brass, maybe $20/box. Good thing I generally pour my own.
