Your Encore 1:28" rifling will shoot PRB's, but you will not be able to push them too fast without"stripping the rifling". However,plenty fast enough for small game and targeting fun though with surprising accuracy.

Here's how: .490 roundball, .018" Lubed Ticking patch (tight fitting, if too tight for you, then switch to a .015" lubed cotton patch), and a wonderwad. Not knowing what powder you are using you will want to stay around 35-60gr 3FG and 40-70gr 2FG.

Or for large game hunting loads, the Fox Ridge with a 1:48 twist barrel will shoot PRB's very well. It's the exact same spec bore as the T/C Hawken. In fact, you will use the same PRB as noted above, except you will be able to load heavier hunting loads with the slower 1:48" rifling.

You could go the route of another ML but that would be up to you.
