Remington Non-Lead Hunting Ammunition Receives California Certification

MADISON, NC – Remington’s Premier Copper Solid Rifle, Premier Copper Solid Sabot Slugs and Premier Disintegrator Varmint lines of ammunition have been approved by the California Department of Fish and Game for use in the hunting zones within the range of the California condor, pursuant to its July 2008 law prohibiting ammunition containing lead in those areas.

Remington Premier Copper Solid Centerfire Rifle Ammunition features a polymer-tipped copper bullet. See accompanying table for loads.

Remington Premier Copper Solid Sabot Slugs feature angled petal cuts in the nose of the solid copper bullet. It is the best-selling slug in the company’s lineup, and is available in 12-gauge (2¾ or 3-inch) and 20-gauge (2¾-inch).

Remington Premier Disintegrator Varmint Ammunition is loaded with a new frangible bullet design that looks like a typical jacketed hollow point bullet. However, the iron/tin bullet core disintegrates upon impact. It's available in the popular 22-250 Remington and 223 Remington calibers.

BELLEVUE, Wash. – The Second Amendment Foundation filed a lawsuit last week on behalf of three residents of the District of Columbia and a New Hampshire resident, seeking to compel the city to issue carry permits to law-abiding citizens.

The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court on behalf of Tom Palmer, George Lyon and Amy McVey, all District residents, and Edward Raymond, a New Hampshire resident. SAF and the individual plaintiffs are being represented by attorney Alan Gura, who successfully argued the landmark District of Columbia v. Heller case in 2008 that overturned the District’s handgun ban on the grounds that it was unconstitutional under the Second Amendment.

“In most major American cities,” said Gura, “where the right to bear arms is respected, licensed permit holders have proven themselves safe and effective. Washington, D.C. already requires handgun registrants to complete the background checks and training classes required of carry permit holders throughout the country. It is pointless to deny these individuals the right to bear arms.”

Plaintiffs are seeking a permanent injunction against the continued ban on carrying handguns by law-abiding citizens for personal protection.
