UPDATE.............Range report
I was finally able to make it to the range today. Loaded 200 gr LBT GC over 18/IMR4227. I realize this load is not anywhere near max but the subdued recoil makes the Ruger a pleasure to shoot. Best guess velocity is about 1450 fps. Rifle range was too sloppy with snow and ice to set targets out. So I moved to pistol range and fired at 25 yds. Didn’t have a bench to set a rest on, no covered shooting line yet so shot offhand. Put 8 of 10 on 6” steel plate. I haven’t done much handgun shooting in snow and ice. Thanks again to the many members who have offered information, links to the history of the Ruger Maximum and other facts. If I get a couple days of sunshine I’ll be headed back out to see what happens at 100 yds off a rest.
