hangunnr Posted November 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 Re: My baby............ Maybe I should have elaborated a little....... It's a Encore 50 cal muzzle loader. The scope is a Leupold 2X pistol scope. The best shooting load I've come across is 60gr 3f 777 under a T/C mag sabot and a 240gr Hornady XTP. It'll shoot one ragged hole at 50yds while pushing that XTP around 1400fps. Our ML season here in Indiana opens next weekend and this will be my primary weapon. hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTbowman Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 Re: My baby............ Man THAT sounds sooooo cool. a ML pistol.. Have fun with it!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SavageTaylor Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 Re: My baby............ Thats a sweet pistol! I have been try'n to buy one almost identical to it w/o the scope for the last few years with out any luck. I allready own an Encore 209x50 black powder rifle as well as a .260 Rem barrel & a .22-250 barrel for it. But for some reason a .50 Cal Pistol is impossible to buy & import into Canada... . So, how does it shoot? I am going to keep try'n to get one maybe someday the powers that be will let up a bit, it seems kinda funny to me that I was allowed to purchase a .44 Mag Redhawk but can't aquire an Encore Black Powder Pistol. --Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hangunnr Posted November 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 Re: My baby............ T/C is now offering the pistol length ML barrels in stainless with fiber optic sights. I'll most likely ditch the scope and pick up a set of the fiber optic sights before next season. hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Re: My baby............ Dang it Hangunnr, you are going to make me buy one of those aren't you? I have been searching for the different barrel makers to see which one I want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
