Ammo for Ruger .44 carbine???

[bill c68]

So I'm wondering what is the most accurate ammo for this minute of pie plate shooter?
I have limited choice here on PEI...

Also, I have been told to use at least 240gr, I see Hornady makes a 265gr flex tip, will I run into any trouble using this?

Now, apart from ammo, is there any other accuracy improving tips and tricks for this thing?

I was told that the standard ammo of the day was the Remington 240 grain in the original 44 Ruger semi's.

My father in laws pretty much only cycles Winchester soft points.

Im assuming you mean the old semis?

My best load for it was the Hornady 265gr. It was the most accurate and the most lethal. If I remember, I used Win 296 for powder. I will have to go into the cave to find my notes. Or, you can use Ken Waters "Pet Loads" as a start.

240gr JHP works for me.

Tagged for interest. While on the 44mag ammo subject, what is the best ammo for my pie plate shooter M77 walnut/blued?

I have found that the 240 grain shoots the best out of my wife's carbine, I really like that little rifle! I have even taken a moose with it!
