Encore 50 cal and triumph-bullets
« on: June 16, 2010, 03:10:11 AM »
Trying to find a good bullet for for these two guns. The encore is easy to load, but I havent found one yet that is accurrate enough for my satisfaction, and it takes two men and a boy to load the bullets I have tried so far in my triumph. Any information you can provide would help me greatly.

Have you tried powerbelts? They load great in my Encore. Also you might give Thor bullets a try they come in 4 different sizes just give them a call and they will send you a sizing pack for free. There has been some recents posts with the website. Are you sure it is the bullet you are using in the Encore and not the powder? Just something to think about. Good luck

shockwaves 250 grain. Do not use the easy glide sabots to loose in the barrel.  Most XTP's and I put them in an crush rib sabot.  I also use the supplied sabot on the xtp's.  240 grainers will rock deer.  Gold Dots are another good economical bullet for you to try. PB's tpo me are expensives and I do not like the perforemance, used em' one year and gace them away, I got the uck, good shot but had to track in the dirt as no blood was coming out of the carcass.  xtp's blood everywhere.
Please be sure to check your gun at the door.  WHAT!

Before you spend alot of money trying to change bullets, order yourself a pack of the Harvester short black sabots. They have worked great in my Triumphs and Encores.
