Someone who saw the deer after it was killed said it was full of holes, mostly as result of bad shooting, I suppose.
Laffin, that must have been a sight to behold... My dad got excited one time and put all 5 of his .243 rounds in one, 14 would have taken some work.. This one, if you squint, you can see 3 maybe 4 hits, poor bastard wasn't gonna make it to the fence line...

I didn't even know they held 10 rounds!
I want a 96 more than anything. I kick myself for not buying them when they were being produced. All of them.
Travis They hold 5. What I'm talking about is if you pickle off 5, then reload quick, and pickle off another 5. You pretty much need a hat or rag to hold onto it and get the second 5 loaded, and by the time the second 5 leave the pipe, you pretty much can't touch anything metal forward of the bolt without a welding glove. I'm exaggerating, but not that much. It gets really hot, really quick. I suspect that's at least part of the reason Ruger never messed with a large cap magazine version.

Didn't the 96 have a rotorary mag...or am I mistaken?

Big Red had an inside spread of 30 and 2/8 inches, 2/8's inches? I had heard it was 5/10's.

They used to put out a "Carbine Load" in boxes of 20. I got a box once in which one round had the bullet seated upside down.

In 1972 or 73 at the Howard Johnson's Hotel in New Orleans, a black guy, armed with a Ruger 44 carbine killed several police officers, a fireman or two and several civilians. A National Guard (I think) chopper was called in after a day or two standoff. They shot the hell out of the roof of the Hyatt, and killed the shooter. We weren't as "touchy - feely" back then! ! memtb It was January 7, 1973, the shooter was a guy named Mark Essex, and he was armed with a Ruger .44 carbine. He didn't have much trouble hitting people. The incident has been likened to the Dallas police attacks. There is a lot of info on the Internet. (As an aside, 5 months later, about a mile away from the HoJo sniper deal, the worst murder of gays in the U.S. prior to Orlando occurred at the Upstairs Lounge in N.O. It seems like 1973 all over again.)

If the deer is still moving, then it gets shot until it isn't. I don't see a problem with that.

Cheyenne, Completely of topic but, in January 1972 there was a confrontation in Baton Rouge (I was working about 8 miles away that day), between Chicago based Black Muslims(a real shocker) and our local police. I knew one of the Sheriff's Deputies who was killed and one who was severely injured. A close friend( a Sargent in the Sheriff's Dept.),eliminated one of the threats and saved the tax payers of Louisiana a lot of money! Our local police upgraded their riot gear and their handguns soon after. memtb

Save the cartridges for a S&W M29....and make a 'boat anchor' out of it!! On of the biggest bucks that I ever killed was with a .30 carbine. Not my first choice, but when I got to deer camp the rear sight was broke on my 30-30, so I borrowed a gun. One shot at about 75 yards and a big 10 point down. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

My wife's uncle ate a lot of venison as the result of carrying a .44 mag Ruger carbine. He was a competitive shooter during his time in the Army and had lilttle trouble making that Ruger accurate and deadly. We were standing together one time when a 6 point came busting through the brush. He had a window about the size of a baseball glove to sneak a round through and hit that bugger on a dead run. It was dead before it even hit the ground. Clipped it right in the heart.

Well no it wasn't dead before it hit the ground. But very close.
I really would like a 44 carbine to put a suppressor on, but that likely won't ever happen. Its a want, not a need.
Unless the safe hearing act happens and cans go down in price.
