A friend of mine and I encountered a problem today shooting his .50 cal Encore. We were shooting 90 and 100 grains of 777 with a 200 grain Shockwave. The petals on the sabots kept breaking off. Suprisingly, the gun grouped well until we moved to 100 yards. Once at 100 yards the groups really opened up.

I'm looking for any suggestions on different load combos you may be using with good results. I also plan to try the same loads in my Omega. Thanks for any help.
