i shoot the FPB bullet out of my Encore using 110 grains of 2F Goex Pinnacle. They load easily after i give the short starter a good whack. Accuracy is not all that great, about 2.5" at 100 yards.

i have killed 8-10 hogs with the 350 grain FPB bullet, some were really big hogs. Earlier this month a young US Army officer i was hunting with shot a hog at a feeder that weighed 285 pounds field dressed. The man was using an Omega that we had sighted in that morning using the 350 grain FPB bullet. The powder charge was 100 grains of 2F JSG. The bullet went through over 3" of gristle in the shield and 12-14 inches of innards, muscle and bone.
