VTbowman Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Re: What kind of handgun do you hunt with? Just got into the Encore handgun thing this past spring. Its all I have for hunting now. Got rid of all my long guns. I will be using an Encore .300 Win Mag and a 209x50 ML. .300 is 16" long and the ML is 15". Both kick like mules..

IMO the best factory load is the 180 gr Partition Gold handgun load offered by Winchester. hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
