Studying the environments in which core-collapse supernovae (SNe) explode and then subsequently evolve is essential to establish the nature of the mass loss and the explosion of the progenitor star. The spatial structure of the outer shock in young core-collapse SNRs provides an opportunity to study the nature of the medium into which the remnant has been expanding. We present our X-ray study of the outer shocks in young core-collapse SNRs in our Galaxy. For Cas A and G292.0+1.8, we find that both remnants have been likely interacting with dense red supergiant winds. For other remnants with bright thermal X-ray emission from the shell, we suggest that they are interacting with pre-existing circumstellar structure. We discuss the nature of the winds and the progenitor stars.
