I know someone who reloads and uses 24gr of Hodgdon with a Nosler 240 JSP bullet and he shoots it out of a Ruger Deerfield. He said that he also uses the CCI magnum primers. He said that he shot 4 last year and the combination was very good. He had clean kills and the bullet being a jacketed soft point, stayed in one piece and had nice passthrough. He also showed me his grouping at 100 yards and they were about 1 1/2" (real nice group for a carbine). He gave me a few to try in my Deerfield. If they work good I might reload some.
