When I tested that load it was my last winter back in michigan. For three shots I got 1875, 1943, and 1926 for an actual average of 1914fps. Maybe I'm just one of the lucky ones. I have noticed that my encore barrel is a lot faster than my dads T/C Black diamod LR barrel with the same powder charge. I know its pretty anal to keep records of all your loads but I had just got a ballistic computer program at the time and went crazy figuring things out. I still have about half a box of the pellets but haven't had a chance to use my 209x50 barrel since moving to alaska two years ago. I'm originally from central michigan. I liked the way clean shot cleaned up.
