MY VOTE IS FOR THE 130 GAMEKING I HAVE USED THE NOSLER BT'S BUT WAS DISAPPOINTED WITH THEM BECAUSE I LIKE TO SHOOT THROUGH THE SHOLDERS BY THE WAY WITH THE T\C ENCORE IF ITS LIKE MINE IT WILL LOVE THE GAMEKING PUSHED WITH IMR 4350 GOOD LUCK AND GOOD SHOOTING

150 gr. Nosler Ballistic Tips. They have a very highB.C. of .496 and shoot better for me than the 130's. Not uncommon for 1/2" or so3 shot groups @ 100 yds. from a Browning A-Bolt. Plus, they've knocked the snot out of every whitetail I've ever shot with them. Can't ask for anything better!

Any 130 gr will work great. You might even play with the 110 sp (speer). I love this bullet for whitetail/muledeer/antlope. Its fast, flat and knocks the crapout of em, esp w/that short T/C. I would avoid the heavier bullets from your T/C. There is a sweet web site that has a ton of info (TC Encore Accuracy Barrels) check that out....

What's the name of the website?

Custom T/C Encore and Contender Barrels

Eabco sold me a barrel a while back and the extractor didnt work after the 2nd box of shells. I callled them and they were pretty crappy about it. They said they wouldnt take the barrel back.

I had to take it to a gun smith to get it repaired. I can also say I hate the bases they make. They came lose alot. The screws that came with the rings had to be ground down because they were to long. It was a pain in the butt grinding down those little screws.

Id never buy anything from Eabco again.
