Thanks for the information. Hopefully, I'll get one of the Ultra Mags that come w/ the percussion hammer, otherwise I have the email into Doc White. So I take it the RWS #1075 caps fit into the Ultra Mag regardless of wings or wingless?
I'll also look into the new Remington 11s if I come across them too.

Yes, that's how I bought the Hornady's from Cabelas - although I got the 300gr which come in fifty packs for $10.99. Where do you get the 240gr or 250gr for $11/$12 per 100ea? Cabelas had them for $19.99 and $15.99, 240gr XTP-MAG/250gr HP-XTP respectively. And yup, I'd love to peek through an experienced ML shooter'sgear bag.
I'm getting more excited by the minute.

On my Ultra-mag the RWS primers are very hard to use I just cannot get them on very far. I get lots of sparks out the plug. Remingtons work real well.
Ever since my old trap shooting days I don't trust cci products. You could always count on one or two out of a thousand that would not go off. Of course that was 25 years ago. For all I know they might make them all. I know .17 mag shells are all made by CCI even Hornadies.

NO, I haven't received my Ultra Mag just yet! Theyshipped out late last week from the Midvale UT store via ground so I don't expect them until later this week. Although, I'm hoping they'll be there when I get home today of course ...
It'd be great to be shooting my ML this weekend! Here's to hope.

RE: White's ultra mag on the way, now what?
I was absolutely shocked to pick mine up on Saturday. They also shipped out of Midvale. They shipped on the Wed. 31st and hitthe Kennewick store on Fri. 2nd. I just had them shipped to the store rather than my house.
Maybe you will get them today. Better rush home!!!!!

They arrived today ... Nice! One ML had 4 tubes and one had 5 tubes of projectiles. Both had the socket and allen head tools as well. Both MLs look to be in the same great shape - nothing dinged or broken at first glance. That laminate stock sure is 'purty!' LOL Let the funbegin ... I will definitely come over to shoot with you one of these days - I just have the ML now though - none of the other tools/supplies have made it here yet.

I really think you are going to be alright with the laminate stock in all weather... Laminated wood does not move near as much as regualr wood stock in temperature extremes.... I have not sealed mine with wax yet as cayugad has, I bought it but have not applied it. But the other night when i was cleaning, again, I thought what the heck I wanted to know - so I threw it in the bathtub to see what the water might do... it floated so i had to sink it - I left it in there about an hour checking it every-so-often... When I pulled it out water bubbled up on the stock and on the inside - I am thinking it has been water sealed, but I will wax mine just in case... I did oil with linseed the other night but it would not sink in so I ended up wiping it off...

sabotloaderis my hero! I can't imagine ever dunking any wood stock I own in the bathtub ... let alone sinking in it for an hour, yikes!
On another related note - this laminate stocked Ultra Mag sure feels heavier than 7.5lbs! More like 8lbs and change ... note to self: get out the scale and measure this beast tonight.

phil

RE: White's ultra mag on the way, now what?
I stand corrected on the TC cheap shots, they are 240 grain. Like I said though for the price they do an excellent job at taking deer size game. My brother and I both have had good luck with them and they dont empty your wallet buying them. The trauma on the doe I killed looked as if it were made by a high powered rifle round such as the 30-06. I had complete penetration broad sided through the lungs at bout 20 yrds with an exit hole about the size of a quarter. At that range, if it was going to blow up it should have.
