[QUOTE="Wolf76, post: 1230812, member: 75779"] For legal reasons I can't tell it's ok to shoot smokeless powder in a gun that isn't approved for it. So, what I'm about to tell you is my experience and if you do it, it's at your own risk. I shoot smokeless powder in my regular encore all the time. I've done so for about six years now. Using pressure tested loads and my knowledge of reloading/smokeless powders, I've determined it is safe in my gun. Savage loads are very low pressure loads and often 5744 generates lower pressure than bh209. I use a different powder, but you get the point. My gun shoots 43 gr of something and a 300 gr bullet just shy of 2300 with 3/4 moa accuracy. People need to keep in mind that the sabot acts a failsafe to some degree. At 50k psi, they tend to collapse. The problem comes from the lack of knowledge regarding smokeless propellants. If you use 43 gr of "bullseye", you have a bomb. Pressure is pressure regardless of what generates it. I don't want others people's opinions about the matter. So kindly keep them to yourself. Your welcome to disagree, but I won't get into a keyboard contest. [/QUOTE]
