I have one in a 15" and it is a blast!! I use .45 super data in it and it will take deer with ease. What I like most about it, is it doesn't  have all the blast as other big bore rounds. It will shoot 2" groups off of the hood of my truck laid on a gun case at 100 yards!!! I should try it on a real rest!!! ;D

 Thanks for the welcome ;D  Have only had it about a week put a red dot sight on shooting about 2" at 25 yards off a rest but I'm sure a scope wouldn't hurt.. Jeff   Will have to figure out how to post pictures..

  Tonight I picked up a .45 acp 10" octagon barrel.   I still need a walnut forend before I can shoot it.

No I haven't!! I see no need for it with a complete supported barrel. You don't want to do this with a ramped barrel. It works fine in a tc or a revolver. Because all the brass is supported in the chamber. .45 super brass is thicker back by the webbing so it doesn't blow out on a ramped barrel. DO NOT try these loads in an auto that is not set up for .45 super and not using .45 super brass!!!!! I started out using .45 acp level loads and worked my way up to the .45 super data watching for any signs of presure and everything is fine. I read a mag.artical about a guy loading a .45 acp blackhawk using longshot powder, starting with .45 acp loads and working up to .460 roland loads without any signs of presure. But, I am happy with the .45 super loads. Easy to shoot and will kill any deer I shoot within a 100 yards.

  Thanks for the information on the 45super. Just wasn't sure if I should be loading the 45 super load in a 45ACP Case but understand it would be only in the fully supported Encore barrel.. Thanks again Jeff ;D
