I am new to the forum and have been reading a lot of the post. It seems that there are a lot of knowledgeable people posting here. My question is below. Thanks in advance for the comments.

In a local gun shop that I visit there is a group of people that have been shooting smokeless powder in their Encores. I am not aware of the powder brand but I did hear that it was around 28 grains. Do you believe that this would be safe in an Encore or has anyone experimented with this or know of anyone that has?

I have been on the side of not getting the performance out of the ML that I would prefer, but I would not want to jeopardize mine or someone else’s life. Thanks.
