[QUOTE="KMG, post: 1473312, member: 41928"] I'm shooting a standard 26" factory barrel on my 50 Cal. Encore. Several seasons in an effort to extend my range I switched to shooting 400gr Barnes Original Semi Spitzers with crush rib sabots. I'm getting 1960' with a full 120gr charge of BH209 & CCI Mag primers. Upon switching I went 6 for 6 bang flops on whitetails. From 187 yds out to 248 yds. Most were high shoulder type shoots & they all excited, some penetrating thru both shoulders. This bullet powder combo has done nothing but impress me. If I do my part it will pattern 1-1.5 moa groups out to 400yds, most of which is horizontal. The vertical dispersion is usually in the 1/2 moa range or less. I've been so thoroughly pleased with this combo I would recommend it to anyone looking to transform their muzzleloader into an absolute longer range hammer. Personally I have yet to try this combo out on elk. That being said, my farthest shot was on a big whitetail buck at 248yds. The bullet entered off the hind qtr & excited thru the off side shoulder. That's about 3' of thru body penetration and it dropped him in his tracks. I wouldn't hesitate to use this bullet powder combo on elk out any other large game for that matter. Kevin [/QUOTE]
