I took the Encore Endeavor and some of the new Hornady FTX bullets to the range this weekend. I was using the .430/265 gr. bullet with the Harvester green and green crush rib sabots. The weather was about 55 - 60 degrees with little to no wind. I already had some tubes filled with 110gr/volume or 77/gr by weight of BH209so I decided that was what I would use on this trip. I first shot a fouling shot with a 250gr shockwave and a harvester Short Black sabot to make sure the scope was still on. It was, so I started shooting the FTX's.I noticed that the crushed rib loadedquite abit easier so I figured it wouldn't shoot as well as the regular with the BH209powder.I settled on the regular green sabot( I thought they were a little more consistent)and started to fine tune it a little and try to shoot a group.The first three shots were just to the left of the center line so I adjusted the scope 2 clicks to the right and shot the last two shotsthat cut thecenter line on the target about a half inch apart. Here are a couple of the targets.
