I am getting everything ready to sight in my new TC encore endeavor and am trying to decide on what to use for powder. I have seasoned my barrel with butch's bore lube and have decided on using the 250 grain shockwave bullet with the yellow tip(unbonded). I am also going to use the winchester 209 primers. I am trying to decide whether to use loose powder or pellets. My choices are the 50/50 triple 7 pellets, 50/50 hodgdon pellets, and I have heard good things about the buckhorn 209. Anyone using this muzzleloader what are you using and what is your opinions on my choices? I would appreciate any help and input. Also their are so many choices in cleaning supplies to keep the gun clean and at peak performance. What steps do you take and what products do you use to keep your gun clean? Thanks and good luck to everyone this season.
