Back on August 17, 2016 I posted a thread:
TC Encore 45-70 Hankins Conversion–Out of the gate flying!!!
hanksmessageboard.freeforums.net/thread/1316/encore-hankins-conversion-gate-flying
Originally I purchased (2) TC Encore / Begara 45-70 Hankins Conversion's, one for myself and the other for a friend.
Yesterday was the first time my friend was able to shoot his TC Encore / Begara 45-70 Hankins Conversion, let alone the first time he has ever shot a SML.
With very minimal experimentation we were able to get a Pittman Accumax 275 with 55 grains IMR 4198, .060 veggi wad, HIS Ignition / Federal LRM 215M primer to group under 1.25" at 200 yards with sustained 15-20 mph winds.
Well needless to say the Hankins / Pittman combination for the 2nd time in a row "came out of the gate flying".
Not bad to say the least for a compact, agile, lightweight hunting SML.
Jeff and Kyle thanks again for all the help and providing us with the tools necessary to consistently achieve these type of results. !!!
