The range was about 60 yards give or take. As far as accuracy, the pic below is at 100 yards, 100gr. BH209, and CCI primer. It was the last 2 shots I took after sighting in with the Federal bullets. As far as I'm concerned, accuracy is awesome. I do have a Leupold Ultimate Slam scope on the Encore.

I am going to see if maybe 110gr of powder will be as accurate, and if so, that will be my load. The reason I am at 100 right now is that I got the bullets right before the season and did not have a lot of time to play with different loads. I was already using 100gr with the T/C Shockwave bullets and just started there, and it seemed accurate enough.

The bullets are on the expensive side, but with the accuracy and performance I am getting, it is worth it in my opinion. Also the sabot less design means it is useable in states like Colorado for Elk in ML season. I have the loose powder part down also, just need to go back to open sights and I will be ready.
