[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 1701106, member: 33046"] LOL...…… I'm on my first, a custom built by Jeff Fisk. Now I can tell you for a fact, Jeff is an outstanding shot, and of course builder. Although I have not yet done the node test for my .45, Jeff HIGHLY recommends that I do it. I will at some point, but **** does this rifle shoot with just what I've been playing with. I started out with BH209, which I must use during our dedicated muzzleloader season.... no smokeless allowed. My first 5 rounds after setting the zero, put all bullets through a single hole at 107yds. Then I switched to smokeless and Jeff provided me with three different smokeless propellants to use, depending on bullet weight. I started shooting 300gr Fury's with Benchmark and was quite impressed at 500yds with 1.25" then made a mistake. I have since upped the charge a single grain and sent some on my 100yd range (107 actually). Although I have not been to the club to stretch it out, I liked the "feel", if there is such a thing, better. I have yet to shoot the IMR 8208xbr charges he recommended. I've been shooting only the Fury star tip2 bullets getting started. A heck of a lot cheaper. I used them last year in .50cal with my BP Xpress. They will hammer a whitetail. [/QUOTE]
