Yes, I have in both the .45 and .50 Encore barrels. The .45 had the 1:20 twist and the .50 the 1:28. Neither shot very well for me, not accurate enough I would trust them for hunting. No consistent groups and too many unexplained flyers.

The Encore barrels with the QLA (false muzzle) is basically a sabot shooting barrel which they do very accurately.  I am currently using a .452/300 XTP in a Hornady crushrib sabot in the .50 barrel.  I sold the .45 barrel.

My White rifles in .451 and .504 will shoot those big conicals with no problems.

TC told me to shoot powerbelts with my omega.  It shoots well with the 370g maxiballs but i do not like their performance on game.

The only real way to know how they shoot is to order atleast 40-50 and try different powders and such.
