sfrace10, Have you tried a sub-base with your saboted loads? I can't say for sure but on the smokeless side guys have had success going that route when using a brake with sabots.

Thanks again, I will check my casings as a few are black inside. Hopefully when I find that big bull everything will work fine! Well, as luck would have it I couldn't get organized for a shot at the big bull opening morning at 350 yds. But later that day shot a smaller bull at 250 yds with 1 shot. Again, 100 g 209 and no brake, I think this combo is working well with my gun. Tried to upload a picture but it is too large. Just a small 6 X 7 NM bull.

azhunter, Are you using the advertised BC for the 275 gr MH of .384@2800 fps or are you having to adjust it for your speed of 2400 fps. Trying to set my Remington UM up but need to know what BC to start with for my ballistic calculations.

If you guys check I think the laminated stock is really some sort of composite. I drilled one for a mercury reducer and it didn't seem to be wood

Please help just ordered my Remington uml and have no clue what scope to put on it. I think I want something with multiple dots for different ranges but you tell me. I'm going to take this on a white tail hunt out west this year. Thanks !

I'm going to take this on a white tail hunt out west this year. Thanks ! As an old retired ergonomist, I don't like things that "task saturate", such as multi reticles. I prefer turning the turret, with less clutter in the scope. I put a Leupold VX6 with the CDS turret on my BP Xpress. It works. Others like and use mil dots, some like a BDC. Only my opinion, but I like less clutter. Range it, turn the turret and fire.

I have a Rem 700 uml and use a vortex viper with bdc, at 300 yds it puts me at the bottom post with my load 91grs weighed of bh209 with Parker 275be. I just bought a Athlon Talos 4x14x44 with mil dots, will be trying it next

Is these scopes second focal plane and if so what magnification are drops good too 300 yds on post

Post by indyson on Sept 30, 2016 13:20:07 GMT -5
I believe it is second focal plane. I am sighted in at 100 yds, the first mark is about 135, second 200 third is 250 and the top of post is 300 the magnification is 3x12x40

Always been my concern with second focal plane scopes and bdc reticle. If you change magnification setting your bdc completely change.

The new Athlon is first focal plane, will work better for my needs

This is a dumb question but how do the scopes with turrets work? How do I know where to turn it to for what yardage ?

Leopold will calibrate the CDS to your MV and bullet's BC. The turrets are labeled with the range IIRC.
Range your target and turn the turret to the indicated yards.

This is a dumb question but how do the scopes with turrets work? How do I know where to turn it to for what yardage ? What you do is order an engraved dial from Leupold for your specific load. Leupold has made several different dials for me, for different rifles, for different loads. The photo show a rifle with a dial engraved for the 300g Deep Curl bullet at 1885 fps mv. The second photo show the dial set for a 100 yard shot. The next photo show the dial set for a 175 yard shot. Of course a rangefinder makes twisting the dial to the correct range much easier. The next set of photo show a dial engraved to fit on a 45 caliber Omega, shooting a 40 caliber shockwave. The set screws are used to anchor the dial to the elevation stud. It worked perfectly one day a few years ago when it enabled me to kill an antelope at a ranged 314 yard. The dial was set on one tick past the 3. The antelope was sleeping, and was unable to stand, after the shot. Believe this answers your question, if not ask away.

Hi everyone, after reading all your comments decided to buy a RU and just got it, its a great looking gun, I wish we could get it in laminated but not available here in my region ( Quebec Canada ) . At this point I have two question , lets say your hunting and you want to clean it without firing they recommend " Deactivate the powder charge by filling the barrel with clean water. Keep the barrel at a 35 to 45 degree angle" is this the way you guys do it ? on my other ml all I did was remove the breach plug and then push the sabot with the ram rod ; and question to azhunter just to confirm its that Muzzle Break your talking about harrellsprec.com/index.php/products/sabot-muzzle-brake before I order the part. Thanks to you all for all the info on the RU

Thanks to you all for all the info on the RU I can tell you this, there's no water going down the barrel of my rifle, short of me falling in a creek. Without removing the BP, filling the barrel with water would have water running through the flash hole and into the action and trigger assembly. Maybe I don't fully understand your need to clean it without firing.

Hi encore50a, I do agree a 100%, unfortunately this is what Remington suggested. The only time I unload a ml without firing is in hunting period, at the camp example if it rains for a few days my other ml Knight Vision just took the bp out and empty the pellets and push the sabot. I will be switching to 209 powder maybe their is no need to empty the ml ? How long can I leave the ml loaded ?
Thank you for your comments

Remington replaced the breechplug but now i am wondering if i should switch to 777. anyone have any ideas??any comments welcome !!!!!!! This is only my experience and what little knowledge I may or may not have............ Repriming the brass to many times creates a memory in the case head from compression to the nipple by the bolt. If a memory exists, then the possibility of gas escaping and cutting increases. A lesson I learned the hard way. I now only reprime brass twice. You are not the first RU owner, who when shooting BH209 has gas cut his breech plug. For some reason and the only explanation that I've heard of is, there's something in the nitro cellulous properties of BH that .... "may".... be causing it. One would assume that if you only used NEW brass for each shot and it sealed (head space) properly, that you could continue shooting BH. However, and its just my opinion, there's a reason why Remington and UF Inc. does not include BH in their rifle's manuals. I will not shoot BH from my BP Xpress. One has to remember, both these rifles (RU & UF) are hunting rifles and not custom target rifles.

I purchased a Remington Ultimate Muzzleloader this summer. I have tried dozens of loads using several different kinds of bullets and the results are the same - it is the worst shooting gun I have ever seen. In fact, I cannot even believe that any gun can shoot this bad. I have hand loaded for my rifles for years and take pride in precision accuracy. I applied the same to the muzzleloader weighing each charge with a high end scale. The gun simply sprays the bullets everywhere. In my opinion this gun is absolute junk. I would love to hear how it is possible that a gun can shoot this poorly - i.e 4-5" at 100 yards from one shot to the next. I have used BH209 from 120g up to 160 grains. I have used the Remington accutip bullets, Hornady bullets, Parker match hunter in 300 and 329 g and Parker Ballistic Extreme in 300g - results the same for all of them. I could get better accuracy with a traditional style muzzleloader and regular black powder. I am open to thoughts as I am at my wits end with this piece of !/%# gun.

Sounds like scope issues to me?? Ultimate rifles seem to be notorious for busting up scopes and mounts for some reason. I've destroyed 2 Leupold VX6 scopes and have friends who have done the same. My first mounts were the standards and the front mount was destroyed. I changed to a Mark4 15moa base and rings, then went to a Nightforce scope. Everything is holding now. Rambler is most likely correct. I know people want to shoot BH209, but try T7 and a Harvester H5045LB sabot, along with a 300gr SST. Swab between shots using a VERY LIGHTLY DAMP patch of Butch's Bore Shine. 3 T7M pellets (180grs) or 3 - 50/50 (150grs).

Also let barrel cool. 120 gr blackhorn is plenty and as encore stated cleaning between shots
