History of Remington Ammunition

More than 200 years ago, Eliphalet Remington II handcrafted a rifle barrel at his father’s forge. From those humble beginnings, the Remington Firearms company grew to be an international leader in the design, manufacture, and supply of quality rifles, shotguns, and handguns.

Since 1984, Powder Valley Inc. has supported Remington aficionados with Remington bullets for reloading and other products that match the high quality and legacy of Remington Firearms. From our headquarters location in Winfield, Kansas, we provide professional shooters and avid sportsmen and women with the reloading supplies, ammunition, and equipment they need to fully enjoy their sport shooting activities.  

Remington Firearms: A Brief Overview

Eliphalet Remington moved his father’s forge to a location along the Erie Canal in Ilion, New York, where the present Remington Factory recently reopened. The company opened its first armory in 1848 to supply rifles and carbines for the U.S. Government and expanded its operations into the early 1860s to support the Federal Army’s and Navy’s orders for pistols, carbines, rifles, and muskets during the war between the states.

In the early 1900s, Remington established a legacy of innovation with the first American autoloading shotgun, high-power autoloading rifle, and pump-action shotgun. The United States and its allies relied heavily on Remington Firearms to supply military rifles and related products for the war efforts during the First and Second World Wars. During that time, Remington Firearms also introduced its first autoloading pistol.

Remington Firearms continued to improve and expand its product offerings after World War II with its Model 870 Wingmaster shotgun, which has been the company’s largest selling shotgun in its history, and several other new designs for autoloading and bolt-action rifles. The company also released new Ultra Magnum and other shells and payloads that enhance shooting accuracy and precision.
