[QUOTE="hammertyme, post: 405492, member: 12863"] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][/SIZE][/FONT]The below information was shot from a 16" Encore handgun barrel. The CE designation is basicly the Gibbs design with a super tough RWS rimmed case. Slower burning powder as in H4831 and a longer barrel will destroy these velocities. I would drop down 2-3 grains and start reloading.
