Remington Bullets?

Has Remington discontinued their .429 and .458 bullets? Checking Midway and other suppliers I don't see them listed. Normally they're shown as "out of stock, seasonal run" but they're not shown at all. I only recently discovered how great their .429 240gr SJHP is. Their 405gr .458 bullet is my favorite in the 45-70. I'd hate to see them go away.

I just noticed the 180gr .357" SJHP is not listed either. They're my favorite in the .357 Maximum.

I have seen some of the R-P bullets around in 100 packs, but have not seen any of the 500 round cartons we used to get from Midway in the good old days.

I thought Remington got out of the reloading business all together?

I wasn't aware of that. That's too bad.

My understanding was that Remington was in receivership. the Navajo Tribe near where I live made a bid for the company and was turned down. I'm not sure if being in a pickle like they seem to be effects all their branches or not. Remington bullets are good, I agree.
