ruger 44 carbine

[Crazytrout]

Had a Ruger 44 semi carbine out at the range last week with some factory Remington JSP 240 grain.
Just using the original iron sights started to see where the rifle would punch the target at 25 yards, then 50, then where are the rounds going at 75 and 100 yards?
Was grouping decent for initial shooting up to 50 yards.

Understanding that this rifle is for maximum 100 yards, what are you using for sights on the rifle and where are you sighting in the carbine to get the most effective target up to 100 yards?

I will start handloading, however I still want a rifle to shoot decently with factory ammo as well.

Love to hear your experiences with this rifle.

Thanks

I've owned three and shot two over the years and would suggest that you zero it "an inch or two" high at 100 yards first. Then see where it's hitting at 50 and 25. It should all be well within a deer's vitals throughout that distance (and then some ).

I used jacketed factory ammo in the ones I've shot and just remember to avoid lead ammo because of the gas port.

I shoot the same ammo ,but i scoped mine . zero at 125 yrds im about 5 in high at 75 yrds , id like to try it out to 2 hundered just to see if it dive's as much as balistic table show . Probably have trouble hitting paper though im getting about 5 in groups at 125 .
