A little history,Years ago one of my brothers,someone broke in his house and stole all of his guns.
So I sold him my encore 50 for a very good price but if when he got another muzzy I would get mine back at same price.So couple years later I got it back it sit in the safe for several years
I had gotten a can of the 209 planning on trying it out but just never got around to it.
Another brother brought his muzzy down so he could shoot it our range a week before muzzy season.Found out his scope was bad.So I told him that I would get the encore out and zero for him to use.He lives over a hundred miles from me and Iam around 25 miles from our club.
Now the first brother that I had sold it to didn't clean the barrel was using pyodex.You should have seen this barrel,you would think it would never shoot.But I gave it a try anyhow.
I wished I had taken a pic of the group but didn't.
Didn't shoot but 5 shots at 100 yds.
The first shot went right about 10 inches ,moved cross hair to bullet hole hit about 2 inches right of dot.Moved cross hair again
next hit top of 1 in dot,the next 2 were touching the last shot .
Couldn't believe how it shot with the screwed up barrel.Very little if any smoke.
It won't replace my smokless,will just keep it around for fun.
To beat it all he hunted 7 days and never saw a deer to try it on.
Shot these with measured 100 gr.Already measured out some different loads to try later.
