Jacketed yes, plated no.

240s, loaded to magnum level (reply)

My experience with the original carbine was lighter and heavier bullets, and lighter loaded 240s, caused cycling problems.

I can't remember if we used soft points, but HP of the day and lots of FMJ were fine.

Plated bullets and gas ports...

A friend is asking if he can use Ranier's/Berry's plated bullets in his Ruger .44 carbine, at lead velocities, without worrying about plugging the gas port.

I've never done it and don't know. What do you think?

Thanks!
