Heard today that the sub-sonic Remington ammo was having problems.

Has anyone else heard of this? If true, is just certain lots, or is this just a rumor?

I just bought a second case, and was curious.

I was contacted by Remington this week and they are recalling ammo on a voluntary basis. There have been some failure to fire issues because of primers. Anyhow, not a huge deal unless it went to an LE agency or it is your home defense ammo.

Thanks for the update. Was a it all 300BLK ammo or just the sub-sonic?

Just the most recent batch of subsonic. Most people are refusing to return it. A few bad primers got mixed in.

You can ask your dealer.

Bill had said it was a tolerence issue. All of the primers had an 0.002" gap between the anvil and compound as opossed to contact, which doesnt make them all fail, but does make failures a little more common.

Dammit.

My brother must have some of it, he fired only 8 rounds out of a box and had a FTF. It was a bad primer.

I've shot 450 rounds of the subsonic now (through my 3 different .300BLKs). I had two rounds through my Rem 700 that needed two strikes to fire. The two ARs in .300BLKs have Geissele triggers and I haven't had any issues with either of those. I'm not returning my ammo, these are range toys for me with subsonic. The supersonic stuff will be for hunting.

No matter how much ammo is made, it evaporates like a drop of water hitting a hot stove, and we lost about four weeks from the primer issue. We are tripling capacity and should have no problem matching demand but I don't expect to reach equilibrium until the end of the year. Then we will should be where I originally predicted we would be now. Sorry. There is not going to be brass for a few months as all of the cases are needed for ammo. That is not good, I know. We need cases for people also - but until back orders of ammo are filled we won't have them.
