Remington 700 Ultimate Muzzleloader

[@wolverinekut]

hi guys welcome back !!!!

[@livebig247]

I'll weigh my Blackhorn 209 powder out, equals 160 by volume. Also shoot the Remington bullets made by Barnes that came with the gun. I'm shooting under an inch at 100 yards

[@Liamisdead99]

What is the speed

[@rogercarlton4385]

Ditch the lead sled. Let that gun free recoil. Should improve the groups.

[@robertmattern2078]

Could you tell me who makes the rail that's on your gun? I like how the rail on your gun is extended out. Are those Seekins/Vortex rings on there too?

[@SpotterVideo]

Much better breechplugs, and ignition systems are now available for these rifles. Why would you turn a funnel upside-down in order to get hot gases into the propellant? The Hankins-type modules available from Jeff Hankins, or from Arrowhead Rifles, are far superior to the UML breechplug system.

[@zackerymitani8685]

This video is fairly old, did you ever get it to group? I get sub MOA groups with 100 grains by weight with the acuu tip bullets.

[@TheMountainProject]

Yes we did, 105 grains by weight of black horn 209 with a Parker production 300 gr match hunter with a Thompson center sabot

[@kerryjones1257]

@@TheMountainProject ya I’m shooting .25 MOA with that load.

[@Claytoe5]

Have you ever tried precision rifle dead center bullets?

[@TheMountainProject]

no we haven't, once we found a good one we stuck with it

[@mikeb.1674]

From what I've seen Remington recommends 200 grains of a specific powder for it's best shooting. Is that still true?

[@TheMountainProject]

We didn’t go off any recommendations, we just started from scratch with black horn 209

[@mikeb.1674]

@@TheMountainProject thanks for the response

[@MrThall7]

Would you recommend the Remington Ultimate Muzzleloader for a first muzzleloader

[@TheMountainProject]

yes, but look at your state's laws. Some don't allow it

[@SpotterVideo]

You can convert a Rem 700 ml to 209, if you are shooting less than 300 yards. The rifle and conversion is about half the price of the UML.

[@stevefrommtairy]

I wonder if it's the platform?

[@TheMountainProject]

no the platform could be an answer but its consistent even on better platforms not shown here. we found major differences between just the sabots.

[@aronkoppold708]

Back the powder charge down and see what you get it might suprize you

[@TheMountainProject]

Thanks Aron! We started low with this one and it actually shot better as we took it up.

[@ngirardo86]

Stop flinching and you might tighten those groups up.

[@JimWooddell]

You are using WAY TOO MUCH powder, IMHO. Did you ever drop below 120 gn? 90 - 120 ball park is good.

[@andrewrivera589]

That don't even look like the Remington Ultimate 700 muzzleloader shoot some power belts and you'll be a lot more accurate
