RE: Need help with Encore Accuracy!!!!
Well I had time to shoot today and the weather was descent, 50 degrees and partly sunny. I took some advice and tried some new ammo. I thoroughly cleaned my gunbarrel using a solvent to clean up all plastic residue out of it. Shimmed the forearm with washers and sanded it so their was no contact with the barrel. Iused American Pioneer powder, 120 gr. fffg. shooting five shot groups cleaning with windex between shots as Cayugadadvised.Here were the results.
Hornady 250 gr. SST-ML... 3 7/8"
Hornady 300 gr. SST-ML... 4"
T/C Shockwave 300 gr..... 6 1/8"
Hornady 240 gr. xtp..........6 1/4"
I then shot my Remington 870 slug gun,using Remington Core Lokt Ultra 385 gr. sabots. I shot a 1 3/8" 3 shot group. WTF, I should be getting those kinds of groups with a $625 Encore, right? T/C is going to get a call first thing monday morning.This is BS!!!!
