RE: Encore update
an expensive trip to Cabelas. I picked up some APP in FFF, a Maxima steel base, Simms recoil pad, and some Barnes 245 spitfires. 19.99 for 25, I don't think thats too bad a price considering. Got some BC Sheath to try also.
In the morning I will try some weighed charges of Pyrodex, AAP and 777 to compare velocity. I should get a good idea of the powder/speed with any bullet so I will shoot some cheap ones for this test. I'm hoping my gun just dons't like 777 and that's where my problems have come from.
