Not out of an Encore, but then that doesn't really matter. 
Ruger No1 Varmint SS - 24" barrel
Leupold 6-18 VL II
55-grain Nosler BTips
37.0 grains H380
F-210
2.480" loa
20-shot aggregates in the 6s.

I have a 26" factory barrel.  I run the following:
brass trim 1.902
39.0 H380
55 gn Nos BT
OAL: 2.385 and use a Lee Factory Crimp Die.
100 yard (5 shot groups) average around .75", I have shot .4 with it, but I am usually not that good. 
I just got a chronograph and we haven't had good enough weather to get out to check velocity yet.

edit:  I use CCI BR primers
