Order the Bullshop conicals and Dan will lube them for you.

Here are the wad cards I have been using per UC's recommendation. From TOTW, WAD-510A. UC keeps denying it, but I still think he gets a kickback on all the Bullshop bullets and these wad cards that we buy. :D

I ordered the 460 Gr. No Excuses and have not shot them.

Do I need to use something between the powder and bullet?

Do I need to lube the Bullet?

I will be shooting in an Encore.

Thanks for the help.

Whether you will need to do anything between the powder and the conical will have to be tested on the range.

You can use felt wads, fiber wads, 20 grains of cornmeal, or just shoot them like they come. Start with 70 grains of Triple Se7en 3f or 80 grains of Triple Se7en 2f. See what happens. Whether your encore will shoot conicals will have to be seen. I have read some posts about the QLA causing problems in that department. Good luck with your rifle.

Geoffh,
I think that sounds right. I think the A&H's bore is a little on the tight side.
I am going to try the .503s from Bullshop. When you start shooting your
420, be sure and post about it. I'll be curious to hear your experiances
with it and be glad to help you with anything that I might have learned.
Tim

Thanks to all you guys. That gives me a great start. You just
can't find this sort of information from the articles by the big
names. I think I know why, but I will let it go unsaid. As much
as I love to deer hunt, I think I like tinkering with my ML and
shooting paper just as much. It's rare to find a forum with this
much participation.
Thanks again,
Tim
