Is Remington UMC reloadable?

[camoman33935]

Is the Remington UMC brass reloadable? The reason I ask is because I picked up a box of ammo and it says 55gr. MC(metal case) but Im not sure if it means that the actual case is metal or if its referring to the bullet being metal cased. Please help.

thanks

its talking about bullet weight and jacket, the brass is fine

 

[camoman33935]

ok thats what i thought... i knew about the weight...i just wasnt positive about the MC part...no ammo ive bought before had that as a bullet type

thanks

Which manufacturer used the trademarked term MetalClad in the old days?
Was that Rem/UMC/Peters?

And no, you can't reload UMC brass.
You need to send it to me (please prepay the freight) and I'll dispose of it properly.


Thank you.

Yes, Remington UMC, (Union Metallic Cartridge company), brass is reloadable.

The case is indeed metal and it's reloadable too!

Remington bought out UMC and used the double name head stamp and then bought out Peters and dropped the UMC from the headstamp and changed their headstamp to what it is today. R-P

As I was reading this thread, I was wondering if someone had already anwsered it. You beat me to it

Well, I always thought R - P meant 'Reload Plenty'. So that's what I did.

UMC is excellent brass. Same quality as Win any of the other majors. If you look at your reloading manuals, powder manufacturers often use R - P brass to work up their loads as well as the other big manufacturers. Reload it and be happy!

if it's brass cased and boxer primed . It can be reloaded
