Is anyone else shooting one of the newer Ruger Bearcats? My wife has a stainless Bearcat that’s only a couple of years old, and it seems like the cylinder holes are pretty tight. The Winchester “Power-Point” ammo she first tried to use to assassinate ground squirrels over at a rancher friend’s place the other day wouldn’t even fit half the time.
She ended up switching to Remington “Yellow Jacket” ammo, which in truth worked just as well for what we were doing - killing ground squirrels. But I’ve always liked Winchester “Power-Point” ammo in my 22 revolvers, and it was kind of disappointing to find out it won’t fit in my wife’s Ruger Bearcat.
Winchester “Power-Point” ammo fits in both of my old Smith revolvers, and I even ran a few rounds of it through my new Glock 44 the other day. It didn’t feed as smoothly as regular Winchester RN “Super Speed” ammo does in my Glock, but it did feed, and I even used it for killing a couple of close-range (about 10 yards) ground squirrels.
BTW - Neither my wife nor I are good enough with handguns to put a dent in our rancher friend's (over)population of ground squirrels this year. We used scoped 22 rifles on the ground squirrels that weren't within spitting distance.
