Picked up my hankins .45 cal preferred smokeless barrell for my encore at the polar bear shoot this weekend and I couldnt be more pleased! Started with 55gr of H4198 and a 300gr xtp to foul the barrell and get on paper. Switched to 62gr of H4198 with 300gr pittman aeromax. Average muzzle velocity was right around 2500fps. Zeroed at 100yds and sighted in out to 400yds. From 100-400 yds was 9.75 moa. I purchased with the master blaster break and recoil was very manageable. Thanks to everyone that helped. Could not ask for a better group of guys to shoot with. Everyone was more than willing to share knowledge.

Thanks for sharing Triggerhappy. I have a new Encore barrel from Hank as well. I hope to shoot it soon. Stocks and other parts are getting here slowly but surely. I was wondering about MOA and your post helped.
