Shot a couple ofthree shot groups with all the holes touching. 90 grains of Jim Shockey Gold, Winchester 209 M/L primers and a 250 grain SST. Most of my groups are two to three inches with this load. This gun and load can shoot better than I can hold it.
The first pic is trying out the 200 gr xtp,40 cal took 4 shots to zero and the last 3 are together.
Second pic is 200 sst both out of a 50 cal encore.It was useing 110 pyro-select.Haven't tried the 200 xtpbullet on deer but should do well,the sst 200 worked well on deer.
Third pic is useing barnes 195 gr. and 100 gr pyro-select
3 Shot groups all touching 2" high @100 yards using 250 gr. Shockwaves and 150 gr. Pyrodex Pellets. From a TC Encore 50 Cal. using Variflame with small rifle primers. Duplicated the same with 100 gr. of Pyrodex pellets, just had to do a rezero. 150 gr Pyrodex is about 8" higher @100 yards than 100 gr. Pellets. I also agree with previous post, this ML will definately shoot more accurate than I can hold it for sure. It's dead dear accurate out to 200 yards with the loads I'm using.

I just shot my best group the other day with my 50 cal Encore. 100grs of Triple 7 Pellets, 240gr XTP with Harvestor Sabots. Group was exactly 3" high at 100 yards and all 3 were touching, with 2 thru the same hole almost.
I run a wet patch and then a dry patch down my barrel after every shot. Then when I get done shooting it for a few days I pull my breechplug and give it a thorough cleaning.
Best 100 yard group with TC Encore.
