[QUOTE="distantfoe, post: 94513, member: 4357"] Birdman - I seriously considered going with a SMI barrel for my encore but was having some issues with the hinge pin tolerences. At any rate, I went with the swinglock. I've been completely satisfied with it so far as it will shoot the 250gr sst at over 2800fps with what looks to be a mild load, manual has a upper end load at over 3100fps. The 2800fps load will consistently group at 2" at 300 yards. These smokeless guns are awesome for the simple fact that since one should foul their gun before hunting, just like practicing/sighting-in, you won't have a rust bucket in a day or two. I haven't had much luck hitting anything with a rusted barrel, well much past 100 yards. [/QUOTE]
