RE: 100 vs. 150
After triing both 100 and 150 grains with my Encore I did a little research and found barrel length makes a bit of a difference also. My Encore has a 26" barrel which can shoot 150 gr but does not gain as much performance as a 28" barrel. I decided to go with 100 gr andzeroed @ 150 yards my my 245 grain powerbelt is 3" high @ 75yards which is the highest point. With 150 gr it was 2.5 " high at 75 yards which was not much of a gain.
