15 inch muzzle loader for Encore
« on: October 17, 2004, 04:24:10 PM »
I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this setup? How accurate is it? To what ranger can you feel comfortable with it? What load and what kind of recoil is acceptable? Thanks for any help you can offer.

I have one and it shoots great. I load 100 gr. of Pyrodex 2 pellets and Hornady 240gr XTP's and sabots. I have good groups at 100 yards. I think that would be the max that I personally would shoot it at. I am sure there are others that may shoot a little further.  :D

I have had very good results with mine. It shoots 250 grain shockwaves very well. Will produce 44 mag velocities with T7 powder. accuracy is very good. It is also a lot of fun to shoot. dave  :grin:

My stainless T/C Custom Shop 209x50 bbl will do 1.25" at 100 meters (109 yds).

I am currently shooting T7 out of it (100 grs. chrono'd at 1638 fps).

Shoots better than my 209x50 rifle barrel.

Regards,
Rog
