The first 5 years or so pellets were all I shot out of the Encore but after Triple Se7en came out I was totally amazed how easy the stuff was to shoot and how many more shots per $ I got so I swore them off. I did get some T7 pellets that I was going to build up loads with Shockwaves with but These were the first Shockwaves with the bad sabots and I just went back to my old tried and true Hornaday Interlock/ mag sabot combo with loose T7.

I never gave the T7 pellets an honest shake. They could be very good shooting but I ended up only shooting about 10 rounds with them and Powerbelts and I hate to admit it now but they shot outstanding at about 50yds.

Again nothing like how good 120g loose T7 shoots but I was surprized how good they shot and how little recoil they had.
