I got one just to fool around with as a project this winter and wanted to try a Ruger Ranch anyway.
The rifle itself was decently accurate with a couple groups at 100Y in the 1" area. It liked the 230's best and hated the 155's. Overall I thought the Ranch Rifle a good value for a cheap rifle.
I tried Sig factory 220gr sub's, Factory 125gr Fed supers, reloaded 240gr SMK subs, 230gr Berger hybrid subs, 155gr Noslers both subs and at 1960 fps.
Condensed, I really went into this thinking a high BC 30 cal bullet would do better than I experienced. I only found value in the round for general shooting with the subs and only to 400Y. With subs the round does pretty good to 300Y, by 400Y it's struggling and by 500Y getting pitiful, and even the high BC bullets blow a huge amount in the wind. I found it hard to reign in the vertical. Both the factory and my meticulous reloads had vertical issues at the longer distances. I could hit my 15" plate with 125gr factory rounds at 500Y more than half the time but by 600Y I hardly hit it.
I didn't hunt with it at all so no comment.
I found out what I wanted to and decided it's not a round I'm interested in keeping with. I could see it being more fun in a AR with a suppressor shooting subs and staying inside of 400Y.
