booner1331 Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 to all Encore owners whats the load you like the best? I'm still experimenting, haven't really found and this I really shoot well every shot. Also what products do you use to clean with, and how often to you clean between shots? THANKS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Re: Best Load for Encore? I swab a spit patch between shots on all of my dirty ML guns. I have found the 250 gr XTP to be an accurate sabot pushed by 3f Triple 7 and Pyrodex RS. I also like the 235 gr QT40 and the 200 and 220 grain Dead Center Precision Rifle sabots. I clean after shooting with CVA Barrel Blaster Foaming Bore Cleaner or Hoppes Foaming Bore Cleaner. Both are sweet for cleaning these things. Squirt some in the barrel and let it do its thing. Wait a few minutes and dry patch it. Fire a couple caps and its ready to reload. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EIGHTPOINT Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Re: Best Load for Encore? Oneway, While every gun may be different, 3 out of 4 of my buddies including myself all shoot the Barnes Expanders with 120 gr of 777. Off the bench 1" groups at 100 yds and 3" groups at 200 yds are not uncommon. Good luck in your search for the reciept that works out of your gun. P.S. : I clean the barrel between each shot at the range. I have fired two shots while hunting without swabbing without a problem using the 777.

mehunter Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 Re: Best Load for Encore? Like ripper I have had great luck with 100 grains of triple 7 and 250 grain shockwaves. Never had a deer travel more than 50 yards after the shot. (that is if I hit it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
