[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 2203059, member: 5219"] Encore is right get the Arrowhead breech plug and use BH209! Two non sabot bullets I have found to work well in my Rem Ultimate ML are the 320 gr Fury universal fit bullet and the 300 gr Thor Hammer. Two of my friends swear by the 300 gr Thor lightnings used in the same Rem ML with Arrowhead breech plug. When I first got my Rem Ultimate ML I used triple seven (nasty crud ring) and the supplied 250 gr sabot Rem bullets made by Barnes. I noticed when the barrel got warm or later when I shot the rifle in the summer that the heat changes the characteristics of the plastic. Heat makes the plastic soft and the group size suffered. I killed a cow elk in NM with that setup the first year. I heard about the Thor bullets and used them the second year, killing a cow elk in NM at 285 yds. Bullet retained 297 gr. traversed 20". Recently I tried the Fury 320 universal fit bullets. I was amazed that every load I tried shot great groups. BUT when I kept firing with a very warm barrel the accuracy was not as good. I believe the plastic base is also affected by a warm barrel. I just switched to a Nightforce SHV 3-10 illuminated with forceplex reticle. I intend to shoot the Fury bullets in June. (Too busy fishing right now) I will know right away if the heat in Tucson will affect the results. If so I will stop shooting it till cooler weather. I intend to use the Fury bullet this year on another cow NM hunt. It is started easier than the Thor bullets and has a higher BC. [/QUOTE]
