but, I am curious why the decision on 300 grain Dead Centers? are you required to shoot an all lead bullet?
No, I bought 2 packs last season and want to give them a try.

Hi
I have an Encore and shoot T/C 250 gr. shockwaves with 100 gr. of powder. My Encore didn't like anything else I tried and I tried conicals and other sabots. It also didn't like the pellets. So if you can't get a group if you try pellets might see if powder works better. Don't buy into the 150 gr. of powder just because it will hold that much. You'll find out that trying less powder it will be more accurate. That's my opinion and my Encore. Every gun is different.

Hi
I have an encore and shoot 240gr shockewaves with 100gr of American pioneer powder. I get sub 1in. groups at 100yds.. I tried lots of other conicals and sabots and these are the one my encore liked. If you don't get good groups with the pellets try powder. I found that 150gr. of powder was not accurate in my gun but all guns are different in what they like.
