Hi, this is Tom Gresham, and this of course is another Gun Talk podcast.

Glad that you could be with us.

Of course, there are a lot of things going on, a lot of politics to talk about we have the post election discussion we have the Wounded Warriors project dust up we're talking about that on the radio

But today I decided we just need to talk a little bit about guns and

shooting and hardware and cool stuff and and cartridges. I really I got a thing for

rifle cartridges. I like reloading them, like shooting them,

my list like what they do, the different kinds. And I thought because Remington has

gotten involved with this and of course the folks over at roomington.com that's where you can go to see well all the things they make rifle, shotguns,

ammo, all the accessories, a lot of things.

Some pretty interesting ammo they have these days by the way if you haven't.

If you haven't looked at

ammo in the last few years there have been some incredible innovations so check

it out remington.com but it got me to thinking about all the remington

cartridges that I have shot and really enjoyed

and thought I might just talk a little bit about some of them because through the years

Remington has been really innovative. They've been out there and I'm not going to get all of

them. I'm liable to miss one that's your favorite, but here are just a few of the

ones that I have shot through the years and enjoyed.

So I want to start off with the 17 Remington,

which really was an offshoot of the 222 Remington.

And the 222 Remington is one of the most important cartridges you never heard of. Now if you were in the 1950s,

you would have heard of the 222 because it essentially dominated bench rest shooting up until 1975 when the PPC cartridges came along.
