my encore hates them things .what would re crowning the barrel do for me? I'm thinking of taking off 1/2 an inch or more of the barrel just to see if that makes a difference.
I would not recommend re-crowning your Encore barrel to get it to love Powerbelts (my very last choice in projectiles).
I would try a nice sabot or conical before I started carving on the barrel.
I have had exceptional results from these.
