Keith...Yeah, I've seen that with Encores...Two of my buddies have Encores and we did a Colorado elk hunt a couple of years ago..Sabots aren't allowed in CO during the muzz season, or at least they weren't at that time...They both had problems finding heavy conicals that would shoot well through thier Encores...

I've used mostly PRBs in my old .50 Hawken for deer, butI tried the Noexuses 460 conical and it worked great..Very accurate and it performed well on the elk I took with it...
