I've always had T/C front stuffers and they've always shot really well.  This one I have now, I've been having trouble I've never had before. First I was shooting 150 gr. of Pyrodex and a Shock Wave bullet and I couldn't keep the bullets on the target, flying everywhere from a solid rest.  I dropped down to 120 grains, same problem.  Switched bullets over to what is a XTP bullet that T/C sells and it shoots some better but not a lot.  I'm still "minute of deer" but not yet found the combination that produces confidence in longer shots.  I'll get it though before the December season.

one of my buddies has an encore he said he shoots 100 grains because with any more u cant hit the broadside of a barn. but with 100 grains it shoots great.
