I have an encore 209X50 and love it. Costs an arm and a leg but worth every limb. I shoot a Barns expander (250 gr.) sabot in front of 3 pyrodex pellets (150 grs.total). I killed a pronghorn buck and a whitetail doe with it last year. The slug had more the effect of a high velocity rifle bullet of those animals than what I have been used to with a regular muzzleloader projectile.
