Madison, NC – The 300 Remington Ultra
Magnum is the hardest hitting, flattest shooting .30 caliber factory
offering in history and is known throughout the hunting world for
its accuracy, velocity, and unmatched ballistic performance as a
big-game cartridge. New for 2007, through extensive testing,
laboratory research and development, Remington has taken this
remarkable cartridge to unprecedented levels of versatility with the
introduction of 300 Remington Ultra Mag Power Level Ammunition.
.300 Remington Ultra Mag Power Level Ammunition offers hunters
multiple performance levels within one firearm, which normally would
only be attainable by switching guns and calibers. Most hunters are
familiar with the12 ga. 3 1/2" Super Magnum shotgun which, using 2
3/4", 3” and 3 1/2" shells, is capable of delivering three
performance levels in one firearm platform. Now, for the first time,
this concept is being brought to the world of centerfire rifle
hunting.
One Gun, One Cartridge - 3 Performance Levels
300 Remington Ultra Mag Power Level Ammunition exhibits the
following performance features, providing hunters with the most
versatile big game cartridge ever available.
Power Level III ammunition is loaded to
full-bore 300 Remington Ultra Mag specifications - a caliber that
defines the performance standard for 30 caliber cartridges and
offers the ultimate in performance at extreme ranges for any North
American big game species. This loading is traveling 500 fps faster
and offers nearly 50% more energy at 200 yards than a 30-06. At 200
yards Power Level III ammo offers velocity that is 432 fps faster
than the 300 WSM or 300 Win Mag while delivering 21% more energy to
the target. The performance gap between the 300 Remington Ultra Mag
and standard or short magnums is over 200 fps and 400 ft lbs of
energy at 500 yards.
Power Level II ammunition has been
developed to deliver performance levels identical to 300 Win Mag/300WSM,
and is designed for all medium and large big game hunting at
extended ranges. Power Level II ammunition offers reduced velocity
and energy levels when the extreme performance of the 300 Remington
Ultra Mag is not necessary.
Power Level I ammunition has been
developed to deliver 30-06 velocity and performance levels and is
perfectly suited for all medium big game hunting at long ranges.
Power Level I ammo offers a recoil reduction of 53% when compared to
Power Level III loadings so its ideal for spending time at the range
sharpening shooting skills.
