Things I liked:Powerful and accurate, especially with .360 round ball. Solid and well made. This gun is very loud when adjusted to full power, but very quiet when turned down to mid or low power. If you are going to shoot it at high power it has a threaded barrel. This feature makes it easy to attach a silencer/compensator if you live where this is legal. Things I would have changed:This gun should be a couple of pounds lighter. I also would be nice for it to have some means of telling whether you have loaded a round in the chamber. It is too easy to forget and load a second round in the chamber. Then you have to push both rounds out with a cleaning rod. This is a pain! What others should know:Overall, I LOVE it! Things I liked:The Ultra loads easily, fires smoothly, and has the blend of weight and ballance to makes it a hoot to shoot! Things I would have changed:My Ultra needed several improvements to make it the fine shooting instument it has evolved into: polishing the rifling to a precise 8.95mm consistency, removing rifling in the breech that was cutting the bolt o-rings, and bevelling the lip of the barrell air inlet to allow for concentric seating of bullets without shaving lead off their lower edges. The factory o-rings for the sliding bolt seal lasted less than 200 rounds, and after some experimentation were replaced using staged 1.9 mm thick o-rings (4.8 I.D. followed by 5.8 I.D.) in order to seal the breech up tp the 2600 psi optimum pressure for this rifle. Fill the o-ring grooves with sticky silicon grease prior to slipping the o-rings on. What others should know:As other reviewers indicate, this is a rifle for experienced pcp airgunners who have the skill to understantd the mechanics of the wheapon - or who at least have access to someone who does. The 102 grain cast Lee bullets work well, but the Hornady .36 cal roundballs are a breeze to use and are just as accurate, so why waste time melting lead when you could be out shooting for around a nickle a ball. Also, for quieter, slightly more accurate and for comparable downrange energy, shoot 60 grain Aguilla .22-SSS ammo from a quality bolt action rifle - but there will be no kick and not nearly as much fun!

Hi Mr Leland! I'm from Argentina, and I would like to buy one ultra 9mm career, can you tell me wich hornady ammo are rigth? I saw in the hornady webpage two kinds of .36 roundball ammo's: the .36 Cal .350 Lead Balls (SKU: 6010) & 36 Cal .375 Lead Balls (SKU: 6020.). In other hand, Which is the useful range and groups to this distance? I apologize for the quantity of questions, but I didn't find this information even consulting to factory. thanks

hi,
i read on all the reviews that this gun loves round balls so i purchased the hornady 36 cal's. i changed the pellet stop and the balls load fine during the first half of the cocking procedure (pushing the lever action out towards the barrel) but when i pull the lever back, the action gets very rough and "crunchy" for lack of a better term lol. you seem to really know this gun. please let me know what this is and how i can fix it. thanks in advance - phil Show Other ReviewsCreate an online review and share your thoughts with other customers
