UM did some load workup for my hunting partners Proof 300 WM. Legit .25" group at 650 with pics to prove it.

That rifle dumped a mule deer at 1043 yards about 3 weeks after it came back from Idaho... I'm a believer.
Tell him to enter in the next available 600 yard benchrest competition. He should have no problem winning with .25" groups.

UM recently completed my semi-custom Tikka 25-284 build with a McGowen 22" #3 profile in .257.
  • Chambered based on 3.142 OAL from dummy round
  • Cut receiver threads
  • Mounted, head spaced, etc...
When I got the rifle at home I shot 5 rounds to check for pressure and loaded 20 to zero and determine the cone. It took 2 shots to zero, and the remaining 18 went where they were pointed with many in the same hole. I blame the 5 or so outside the 1.25" bull on pretty significant suppressor heat mirage at 100 yards on a 90 degree day. I couldn't be more happy with the first 20 rounds out of this rifle. Customer service with UM was also top notch, answering all of my dufus newb questions with patience and courtesy. I'd absolutely recommend UM to anybody not looking to spin on their own prefit that wants to leave it up to the experts.
