I bought a beautiful model 700 SS in 7 Utra back in 2001 which I love and have taken many animals with. Then the short action craze kicked in high gear.

Now I find myself with a gun that only has 1 factory loading which is the 140 gr. Premiere Ultra Core Lockt. I've heard good things about this new Core Lockt but I don't want to rely on it for elk, etc. (I've stocked up on 140 and 160 gr. Nosler Partitions in the meantime). Remington says they'll "probably" offer more next year but with the Short Action craze I'm wondering if the 7 Ultra will be phased out and no factory loads will be available.

Since I love the gun and caliber and I'm not a reloader I needed to find a company that loads for the 7 Ultra. I found a company online that offers many different loadings called Conley Precision Cartridge Company.

Does anyone have any experience with this company or similar? Can I expect the same of better performance from them as factory ammo? They have an online ballistics table that shows basically the same performance as factory ammo.

Is there another company like this out there?
