Bullets/Sabots that work with T/C Encore Endeavor
 
I'm going shooting tomorrow and I'll be able to try out my new Encore Endeavor. Currently, I have some Barnes 285g Spit-Fire MZ's, Barnes 290 T-EZ's, T/C 250g Shockwaves, and .44 cal Hornaday 300g XTP's with Harvester green cruch rib sabots. Am I going to run into any issues using any of those? I know the SW's will work. :)

Also, can you guys please post your experience with certain bullets in this gun or the Pro Hunter (since they're basically the same gun).

the MMP HPH-24s work well with .451 bullets. The HPH-12s are too tight. I just tried the 3petal-EZ last Friday and they are too loose. 3petal shot 3 inches high at 100 yards with my Encore PH. I only shoot the 300 grain Speer Uni-Cor soft point.

Have use 300 grain 45 cal. XTPs and they shot well with the 24s. Gun didn't like the black crush rib sabots. I use both FF and FFF T7. Both shoot about the same.

I don't know what kinda charge you plan on using,but the pb shot good out of mine.But i was pushing
them to hard.Other than that you have what i have tryed besides the 240 xtp black sabot,which did shoot good
out of mine.Of course every gun is different

Hopefully the Barnes SF MZ's fit well. I really like them out of my Genesis and would like to continue using them with the Endeavor.

SW, how did you do mounting your scope? UPS made another delivery yesterday. I ordered some "Crushrib sabots' Now I have 3 different MMPs and 4 Harvester sizes to experiment with in my Encore. Now all I have to do is get to the range.:eek::eek::eek:

I did good. It's amazing how high quality the Warne base/rings are. Very good looking and very strong. This was the easiest scope mount I have ever performed. The high rings are perfect for this gun and me! I don't do all the lapping of the rings, setting up a plumb line, or using a torque wrenchlike some people. I'm not competition shooting or a sniper. As long as I'm putting all of my bullets in the vital area during practice, I'm a happy camper. :D
