Single six ruger should shoot better than this.

I loaded up 15 loads of 4gr of unique under 85 gr hornady in my ruger 32 H&R mag. Using a rest it consistantly shot one inch to the right at 10 yards. It doesn't have adustable sights. Has anyone had any experience with Ruger to fix this or is this within there specs?

I would try using a diferent hold on the rest, before anything else. Could be shifting. Maybe add more padding to the rest.

What part of the pistola are you allowing to contact the rest? I have poor results when I allow the barrel to touch the rest, try laying the trigger gaurd on the rest, see if that helps.

I like to hold my pistols free of any rest, instead laying my wrist on a pad.
I've found a tennis shoe to be a great rest, when shooting prone.

if the sight is not in a dovetail you have to turn the
barrel to ajust point of impact .
experment with afew loads and find one you like then
set your gun up for it

One of my 32s shot to the right and both shot low. I use 115gr Oregon Trail to raise the point of impact. To change the windage the barrel must be twisted. I shot a group and then sent the Ruger back with the test target. It took Ruger two times to get the windage correct. They did not charge me it is a warranty item. The other 32 the cylinders were not bored correctly it printed like a shotgun. The cylinder was replaced as well as the ejector rod, under warranty. Both shoot great now. Both were new from the dealer when I got them. So I am not suprised you have problems. But as I said both are great now and very accurate. Ruger had them back to me in a couple weeks.

Thanks Mike , I'll call Ruger this next week to see if they will take alook at it. Otherwise it shoots to the right consistantly, offhand or on a rest.

#1, find the load that you'll "always" use. #2 sight in the gun. Fixed sight guns have to be dealt with in that way.

I can't shoot a handgun off of a rest to save my a**.

Hobie's advice is good, though. Find the load that gives you
the smallest group size in your gun and then go from there.

Might be worth checking the cylinder throats too.
Friend of mine had a .32-20 Vaquero and they needed to be cut.

1" huh,

I must be way too satisfied with mediocricy because that sounds pretty good to me. I used to have an old Ithica 1911 that I was issued while in the service. In order to hit the center mass of the target at 50 meters during qualification, I had to aim at the edge of the right shoulder of the silouette. Not exactly ideal in a combat pistol, however, you would be surprised at what you can get used to! If I were you I would just plan on Kentucky Windage for a minor correction.

You pay good money for somthing you should get what you paid for. Ruger has no problem with making it right. Its their reputation that is on the line. Kentucky windage is not the way to go, the farther the distance the worse it will get.

The gun groups nice it just shoots to much to the right. I bought this gun to carry when I'm in the woods , cutting firewood, etc. . I want it mainly for coyotes and other varmints. One of the merits of the 32 mag from all the articles I read was that it was very accurate out to 100 yards.

So I need to get the sights right or I'll trade it for one with adjustable sights.
