otdrzmn04 Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 A guy I work with has an Encore muzzleloader. he says he has a 25ACP breech using .223 CCI 400 primers. Shooting a 29.5" special order barrell hes getting 2900fps through a chrono.the breech came from canada and the barrell from kentucky.

AJ Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 Re: Anyone ever heard of this? Better put your boots on. This guy is full of it! There is no way he is getting 2900 using black powder, Pyrodex, or T7. Even with a 30" barrel it ain't gonna happen. Now the .25 ACP casing for ignition is real. Precision Rifle offers them. I have heard nothing but good about this ignition system. If I used an Encore or Omega ML, I would use this system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimT Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 Re: Anyone ever heard of this? I highly doubt he is getting that velocity also..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lil hunter Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 Re: Anyone ever heard of this? 200 gr of 777??? Isn't that WAY over the safe limit?I've always heard you shouldn't go over 130-150 gr with Triple 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

too_pointer Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 Re: Anyone ever heard of this? Man, I agree, there is nothing out there I know of that will handle 200 grns. of 777. If he is using that, he is pretty foolish !!!!! too_pointer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 Re: Anyone ever heard of this? The Savage ML is the strongest ML on the market and I would not want to shoot 200 gr of T7 from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
