You can shoot any weight bullet you want, it's the same cartridge. They will most likely shoot to a different point of impact but there is no safety risk. Personally I shoot handloads with Campro 124gr bullets out of my Ruger carbine.
I have run 115, 124 and my favourite, 147gr through my Ruger PC Carbine. Various brands including Winchester WB, S&B, Fiocchi, Federal AE, Federal Syntech, Scorpio, CCI Blazer, Magtech, even my Gold Dot G2 defensive ammo. Not a single issue. The Ruger PC Carbine is pretty versatile that way.
