I have an Encore in 50 and 45 cal. Both shoot extremely accurate. So my choice would be an Encore.

What bullet and powder are you shooting from your .45 barrel RedHawk? I have the Encore .45 in 1:20 twist and so far only 225 powerbelts/100 gr. pyrodex pellets are the only load accurate to hunt with.

Thanks,

I am using the 195gr. Barnes expanders, over 2 triple7 pellets and a 25 ACP conversion with CCI small rifle primers.

I have heard of that load before, but was hoping to avoid using sabots in the .45 caliber barrel. I may have to reconsider. What twist is your barrel and how do the 195 Barnes expanders perform on deer?
