I shot a 4-shot clover at ~60yds (peep sighted) with (3) T7 pellets (oop, yes, i know that exceeds the recc. dosage, see my other post) behind a 295Gr powerbelt in my TC encore. Cleanup was scentfree but residue seemed greater than with pyrodex. Id suggest you decide for yourself if 3 pellets are safe in your rifle. I am more than confident it doesnt bother my Encore
