Try theHornady 250 grainSST bullets in the newHornady"Low Drag"sabot. This sabot is not ribbed or undersized.The plastic is very slick. $11.99 for 25 bullets and sabots at Cabela's. Re-sighted my Encore for 120 grains of JSG and that bullet and sabot last week. The new "Low Drag" sabots load easily and shoot just as well in my tight bore Encore as the old hard to load ones.
