Default Shot group pic

All this is a shot group from my Encore:

-T7 pellets (100Gr.)
-Barnes 245gr spitfire (love them)
-Spit patch between shots

Shot's were at 100 yards, 30 degrees, No wind. Off a bench.

I would suggest, no urge is a better word, that all white tail stay at least 300 yards away from this fellow for their own safety. A little work on the range and you will have a 200 yard rifle that will put most deer down right now.

That is some very nice shooting. Not bad for a rifle many people still believe has no accuracy orkilling power. Yes it's true, talk to some of the uninformed and they honestly believe that a black powderrifle is accurate to abouta 10" plate at 50 yards ability...

Very nice shooting there. You got a great rifle and a great load.

Nice group. Igot some of those bullets but the weather has been to bad to try to shoot for groups. I had real good luck with 250 gr shockwaves out of my Omega, but ithink I like the Barnes bullet better.

A lot of these people don't even know it's a rifle!! Many times I've been asked "Can you actually kill anything with that MUSKET?? while looking at a .54 cal. Hawken rifle.....
