My nephew inherited a Ruger .44 Magnum semi-auto carbine. It was discontinued long ago and he's wants to load for it. He isn't a caster, which leaves it up to his favorite uncle (that would be me, because I'm his only uncle) to help out with cast bullets to try.
The biggest issue is, he lives in Phoenix, AZ and I live in Oklahoma. He doesn't plan on full power loads and wants to go easy on the gun. I keep Keith's #429421 on hand and intend to make up 5-6 dummy rounds to send to him to see if they will function in the rifle. My concern is the OAL of the load.
Does anyone have any experience with that combination? Ruger .44 Magnum Carbine & Lyman #429421 bullets? I would appreciate your input. If they're too long, I can go with several other .44 caliber molds I have.
Thanks,
Murphy
