dead center bullets
« on: February 24, 2010, 05:52:57 PM »
Has anyone shot the encore muzzel loader using the 357 caliber 190-210 grn bullet.  I am looking to know.  And would anyone else like to go in and make a bulk purchase with me on these bullets

LUCK when preperation meets opportunity.

I have been shooting the 357 cal. 195 gr Duplex Dead Centers in my Encore for a long time. I have killed a bunch of deer with them. I bought 240 bullets on my first order, and shot half of them and then ordered another 240 of them. I have a buddy that shoots them now and he just buys them off me.

They shoot very accurate, and I always get an exit hole in my deer.

3 years ago, I killed 2 deer with one shot. I had two deer standing broad side, both lined up perfectly and I took the shot from 80 yards and the bullet penetrated both deer and exited both deer. My buddies were amazed that I got both of them with one shot.

I use the 195 gr. in my Encore and the 260 gr. in my smokeless Savage.
If  you're going to make a hole, make it a big one.

I had mixed accuracy results with them in a 50 Omega (4" group and one sideways at 100), but got a 6 pt at 90 yds., DRT.  Great results and accuracy with Dead Centers and QT's.
