Default Triple 7 or Pyrodex for my Encore

Hi Everyone,
I'm new to this site and would like some input on BP choices.

I purchased an encore a few years ago and started shooting 2 50/50 Triple seven pellets with the 250 grain shock wave from TC.

Heres the problem. The guns is dead accurate, however I have a hell of a time trying to get a second bullet down the barrel even after running a few patches down the barrel in the field. And there is no way I can get a second bullet to seat at all if I dont run a patch down it.

I complained to TC about this for 2 years and I guess others have done the same because now they make the shock waves with lubercation.

I was also told from TC that I should not shoot triple seven from my gun because it gets a build up down where the bullet seats. The tech said I should go to pyrodex and after shooting 6 or so shots, it should clean out this build up..

IS ANYONE ELSE HAVING THIS PROBLEM???

Thanks,
Captain Joe
