With my Encore 50 cal. this past white tail season. I harvested eight deer, three of these were shot at 200+ yds. The load was two 50 gr. and one 30gr. Pyrodex pellets, Hornady 250gr. SST and a Remington 209-4 primer. At 200yds. this rifle and load shoot sub 4" groups. Good luck with your shooting. TTT seven watts with the Gray Beard boycott.
