I guess this one refers to me... can not say that I am a backer but I think on some of Grouse's points I agree... but I am unsure of what points you are referring to.
NATO's post was actually really close to what I would call correct when it comes to TC products.
I personally think Grouse is incorrect when he says:
I have owned four or five Encores and i believe they are only rated to 100grn by volume with a 200grn saboted bullet.
but even then he says "
I believe" he did not indicate it to be a fact...
And all could be solved if you go to your manual... as he also suggested... amd I would add checking with TC if confirmation is needed.
This TC manual page indicates the differently than Grouse remembers. Granted they do not list T7 or BH and even a lot of other different powders.
In my converstions with TC tech department on several occasions, and other postings by other trusted forum members, TC continully says that T7 in their rifles is fine with a max loose load of 120 grains.
I have never asked them (TC directly) about BH-209 in a TC but by now I know they have tested it and the same 120 grain rule would PROBABLY apply. I know that others have and indicated so.
Just my thoughts
