To Ranger: No. I am shooting it in an 1894 Marlin. And a couple of S&W 44 Mags. I had 2 Ruger's. One semi-auto and one lever action. I could not get either rifle to shoot with any degree of acceptable accuracy. I did not shoot cast bullets in the semi-auto. I did shoot some cast bullets in the lever.

I tried all types of jacketed bullets and even several factory loads in the Ruger's. I just did not have any luck with them. So I got rid of them. My Marlin will digest about anything I put in it. I do have to stay at 240 grain bullets as my limit. I tried the 300's and had some problems with the elevator. My groups hover around 1 1/2 inches at 100 yards. Always under 2 inches. I do not want to tell you how bad the Ruger groups were.

When the author said Ruger carbine, I was thinking a lever, but you are right, it probably is a semi-auto. I had my Ruger semi-auto a long time ago. I just got rid of my Ruger lever just recently. I guess they brought the semi-auto back out? They discontinued it for a long time. Sorry, my fault. Tom.
