RE: Powder/Bullet combination for new TC Encore 50??
Swats has it right on.
Shoot Shockwaves, I prefer the 250 grainers, w/ 777. I keep a powerbelt w/ powder ready for a second shot. Reason being is that sabots are very tight in the Encore. Powerbelts almost fall all the way to the powder (why I think the people I know that shoot Encores have poor luck w/ powerbelts). But, after your first shot, if you need a finisher, just drop two pellets of 777 and a powerbelt, it will load very easily, and you can be reloaded in seconds.
W/ some practice and work ups for your gun, you should be able to really do well w/ the shockwaves.
