did some thing to my encore i hope i like, i had it ported. i got to shoot
a front stuffer last fall which was ported ,i was surprised when i squeezed the trigger , i was expecting to geta good push but it didnt happen ,i was like wow i have got to do this .its come back but i have not taken the opportunity to load it up for testing . a friend sent his in at the same time , he said I'm going to like it , i hope so.

I never shot a ported muzzleloader. I will be looking forward to hearing your range report.

I would wear glasses untill I found out where all that unburned powder is going , all that stuff goes out the end of the barrel !
