ruger .44 carbine-ammo ?

rusobr2
[?][?]i have read and heard that the 44 mag. cart. and the 44 spec, can be used in the .44 ruger pistols. i'm wondering if it can be used in the ruger carbine. i know that someone in this forun knows this answer. the only reason that i ask,is my grandson of 9 , wants to shoot the gun ,and i can't see him shooting it with the recoil of the 44 mag- mite set him back a week,
thanks

    I have a Ruger Deerfield .44 Mag rifle. In the manual it says not to use aluminum cased ammo like CCI Blazers or .44 spl as these will not function the action.

    I suppose you could use these rounds but you would have to operate the action manually.

    i have one of the first run of Ruger .44 Mags. i shoot .44 Spcl. in it quite often when i want a lower recoil, the .44 Spcl. functions quite well...., BUT !! i use reloads exclusively.

    good question i can see it might not function in a semi but i have a 96/44 lever in 44mag will 44spcl work in that i never tried or even thought too, but i too have small kids who would like to shoot but same problem with the recoil. i got them 22s and a 17hmr, but you know kids they want want dad shoots lol, so will it work in levers or bolts anyone know?

    If you are looking for a low power load in a non gassed operated semi auto, you may also want to look into the cowboy loads.

    They are lead, and they may not cycle or function well in all guns. I know my 1892 repro can be fussy with them
