Ballistic tipped ammo for .44 Ruger Carbine?

ebooks · 04-22-2008, 07:49 AM

Hi everyone.

Last year I bought a Ruger .44 Carbine, old style, tube fed. It seems to be a little particular on what ammo it likes. Has anyone here had any luck feeding this firearm? Does anyone make a ballistic tipped round?

Thanks

Try the Hornady Levevolution (sp) it comes in 44 Mag and is there to add some range over the flat nosed rounds

That's good to know, all I have is the standard flat HP's and solid bullets. I have had mine for 28 years. It's a pretty nice carbine, it feeds the few styles of ammo that I do have. I would guess the new ballistic tipped rounds will perform as well or better plus better velocities/foot lbs of energy. It will serve you well as a brush gun on deer. Nice and light and compact.

I do not own a .44, but use LE ammo in a .444. From what I've read, pretty much across the board, the LE plastic tipped ammo loads GREAT!
