RE: .25 ACP Conversion for Encore
I shoot the Variflame set up with CCI 400 small rifle primers and my encore is pretty accurate with them. Cabelas has the Variflame set up for around $24. Primmers are like 2-3 per $100. I will say that with Pyrodex, everything gets pretty dirty but it's manageable. I shot 25 times without cleaning the breech plug using the Variflame and never once had a missfire. Definately reduces or almost eliminates any crud ring with 777. I don't think I have had the pleasure of one yet. Lucky I guess, I can get 3 shots in a row with 100 gr. loads. The 25 ACP is the same general principle as the Variflame, just a larger holder for the primer. Both work equally well. I was sceptical at first but, I'm sold on them. Either way I don't think you will go wrong.
