Remington
Authorized Dealer • Ilion, New York Since 1816
Founded in 1816 by Eliphalet Remington II in Ilion, New York, Remington is the oldest continuously-operating firearms and ammunition maker in America — older than Smith & Wesson, older than Winchester, older than Colt. Since 2020, the brand has operated as two separate companies: Remington Ammunition (under The Kinetic Group) and Remington Firearms (RemArms LLC, still manufacturing in Ilion). Keep Shooting carries both sides of the modern Remington catalog — the iconic UMC training-tier ammunition, including the distinctive Subsonic .22 LR Hollow Point in the 225-round value box for suppressed rimfire shooting — plus genuine OEM accessories for the 870 pump shotgun, the 597 rimfire rifle, and the RM380 micro-pocket pistol.
Remington at Keep Shooting
Remington is America's oldest continuously-operating firearms and ammunition maker, founded by Eliphalet Remington II in Ilion, New York in 1816 — pre-dating Smith & Wesson (1852), Winchester (1866), and Colt (1855). For over two centuries the Remington name covered everything from frontier-era flintlock rifles to the Model 870 pump shotgun (the best-selling shotgun in history) to the Core-Lokt hunting bullet to the UMC training-tier pistol and rifle ammunition. In 2020, following Remington Outdoor Company's Chapter 11 bankruptcy, the business split into two independent operations: Remington Ammunition (purchased by Vista Outdoor and now operated under The Kinetic Group at the Lonoke, Arkansas plant) and Remington Firearms (now RemArms LLC, continuing rifle and shotgun production in Ilion). Keep Shooting carries product from both sides of the modern catalog — UMC and Subsonic ammunition from the Ammunition company, and OEM accessories for 870, 597, and RM380 platforms produced by the Firearms company.
UMC — The Heritage Training Line
UMC stands for Union Metallic Cartridge Company, a Bridgeport, Connecticut ammunition maker that merged with Remington in 1888 — making UMC one of the oldest continuously-used cartridge brand names in American shooting. Today UMC is Remington Ammunition's value-tier line, positioned alongside Federal American Eagle, Winchester white-box, PMC Bronze, and Magtech Range and Training as a brass-cased, Boxer-primed, high-volume training round. Keep Shooting stocks two UMC .223 SKUs: the single-box UMC .223 Remington 55-grain Full Metal Jacket and the bulk UMC .223 Value Pack for AR-15, Mini-14, bolt-action, and other .223 Remington / 5.56 NATO chamberings. Both are 55-grain FMJ training loads in the same role as Lake City M193 surplus — the canonical 55gr boat-tail round developed for the original M16 rifle and still the most-issued 5.56 ball load in the world.
Subsonic .22 LR Hollow Point — The Suppressed-Shooting Specialist
The Remington Subsonic .22 LR Hollow Point in the 225-round box is the standout SKU in our Remington catalog. Standard-velocity .22 LR runs around 1,070–1,200 feet per second, which crosses the speed of sound (~1,125 fps) and produces the supersonic crack that defeats most of the suppressor benefit on a rimfire host. Remington's subsonic load is engineered to stay below 1,050 fps muzzle velocity while still delivering hollow-point terminal performance — ideal for Ruger 10/22, S&W M&P 15-22, CZ 457, Walther P22, and any other .22 LR host running a rimfire suppressor (Silencerco Sparrow, Dead Air Mask, Rugged Mustang, etc.). It also works as a low-noise pest-control round on rural property where neighbor considerations matter. The 225-round box is priced for high-volume practice. For shooters comparing rimfire options, see the broader .22 LR catalog and the rimfire ammunition landing.
Firearm Accessories — 870, 597, RM380
Three Remington-platform accessories round out the catalog and cover the most-issued firearms the brand has produced. The Remington 870 cleaning mat is a workbench mat for the Model 870 pump-action shotgun — over 11 million units produced since 1950, making it the best-selling shotgun in history and still in current RemArms production. The Remington 597 magazine is an OEM replacement for the Model 597 semi-auto .22 LR rifle — Remington's principal competitor to the Ruger 10/22 platform. The Remington RM380 magazine finger rest is a baseplate accessory for the RM380 sub-compact .380 ACP pocket pistol (Remington's micro-pistol entry competing with the Ruger LCP and S&W Bodyguard 380), giving the shooter's pinky a positive index point on what is otherwise a very small grip.

Browse by caliber via the .22 LR catalog, the rifle ammunition category for the broader .223 / 5.56 inventory, or the handgun ammo category for pistol-caliber options.
