Default New Load For The Encore

Tried the Hornady low drag sabots in my Encore today. They are loaded with the 250 grain SST bullet. These sabots load very easily compared to theones i have been shooting.

Previously i have used 90 grains of JSGand the 250 grain SSTin a very tight fitting sabot. Today i boostedthe chargeto 110 grains.The first bullet hit to exact point of aim,at the bottom of the bull at 6 o'clock. Range is 100 yards.

Raised the elevation three inches and shot a 1.25 inch, 3 shot groupfrom a dirty bore.Cleaned thebore with Windex with vinegar and shot another three shot group. This one came in just under one inch centered three inches above point of aim. Stopped shooting and came home. Good enough for me.
