I have the older Encore, not the pro hunter, w/ 26" barrel. I shoot 110 grains of loose T7 ffg with the T7 primers (they don't seem to reduce the crud as advertised). I was shooting 240 grain XTP's which shot well but for my caribou hunt I went up to the 300 Hornady SST's. Shoots well on paper at 100 and the 2 caribou I shot with the load combo have major complaints right now.......
