Well we were down VA for opening day Turkey season and as can see it was over before 7am(10.5in beard). So an all day off and on range session was had with the 20" Encore. I tried everything from 90gr-110gr BH and settled on 105gr.
Bullets shot were PT Golds..Shockwaves..XTP.. Sabots both crushed and smooth. First thing I noticed was it seemed to kick alot more than my longer guns. Second thing was it loaded alot easier than my T/C barrels.
It was sup rising how nice the gun handled both off a rest and free handed.
All I can say about Bergara barrels is they are unbelievable. Super accurate with both the V1 and the Encore using just about anything I put down them.
Here is a 5 shot target at 100yds using 105gr BH and 260gr PT Gold and harvester smooth sabot. I flinched bad on the low one and not sure where the fifth is other than it went through the hole.
