seniorlefty Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 I just picked up a PC-4 Ruger carbine for no other reason than it appealed to me. It takes the Ruger pistol mags and I was wondering if anyone uses it for the 3 gun bowling pin matches. It is a great shooter with any of my .40 loads I have for my Para P16 and my SA P9, including 170 gr SWC's which suprised me. It will obviously need a faster powder than the WST I use for the pistols.Any one have any idea about loads,etc for this cute little nipper?

TBF Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Lefty, It will work well on pins, mine does. My load for my PC4 : ( it shoots hard, and is not for unsupported chambers ) 165 gr. Rem. GS 9.2 gr. Hodgdon Longshot ( max load , work up ) Win. SR primer Win. case Avg. vel. 1450 FPS Rips the pins down like a hotrod 45. Primers look a little funny though, the firing pin is yanked free of the primer in mid pressure peak, this results in a protrusion. Travis F.
