Are they producing the new thumbhole version of the USH?If so what is the rate of twist offered with the new ultragon rifling and where might I purchase 1?

The t-hole version has been available since the summer of 2007, the newer UG bores are available in 12ga, but I have yet to see a 20ga available. They appear to be backordered everywhere I checked, but that's not surprising this time of year. RR and Bud's have both had the 12ga in stock at times.

Thanks Tim-what is the twist rate on the new ug rifling?

The FAQs shows 1:28" for the 20ga, and 1:35" for the 12ga, but I dunno if that applies to the UG.

I called H&R and the lady I spoke with said it was 1:35-she ckd production and said they were getting ready to ship some out any time now-does anyone shoot 1 of these with the new ug rifling and if so what kind of groups are you getting with what ammo?

I have one of the ultalites in 20ga and am not have very good luck with it yet . I thought the buckhammers were gonna work in preliminary testing then I started to work on my own reloads and that has not gone well yet but have changed powders and will start to work on it again. But went back to the Buckhammers to make sure they were good to go just in case but am having problems with them . Others have said the the copper solids were working for them as well as hastings and lightfields. But as gets proved time and again unless you get lucky right off the bat ya got to shoot several kinds to find whats right for yours. Kurt
