Hey guys, i had a thompson center encore givin to me. what kind of bullets and powder charge do you recommend. someone told me 150 grains of powder. i just wanted to confirm that. can you guys help me.

My 50 cal. Encore shoots the best with 100gr. of the Blackhorn 209 powder and Hornady Great Plains conicals in the 385gr. since we can't use sabots for hunting here in Colorado.

I shoot 100gr. of loose powder in my T/C Pro-hunter .50 cal and 240gr. T/C XTP sabot.
This combo shoots really well for me, if your gun is a .50 cal., you might try this in yours

Dale.

i use the same combo in a couple of my muzzle loaders. one hole groups at 50 yds with open sights, only 100 grains of powder but i still can pass through both shoulder blades at 100 yds. wife shoots 90 grains with her xtp. you wouldn't think it but there is a noticable difference in recoil with 10 less grains of powder.

I use two Jim Shockey's Gold Pellets, a 295 gr. Powerbelt, and 209 primers...my favorite weapon to take afield! It has an awesome trigger pull. Very very accurate!

I shoot 150 grains of pyrodex pellets with a 250 grain T/C XTP Sabot. I love this gun.I shot a deer last year at 200 yards and hit it perfectly behind the shoulder. Good Luck

x3!

100 gr of Blackhorn 209 with a 250 gr Hornady SST low drag sabot.
